Welcoming a top new addition to the left-blogohemisphere – Tom, and his labour and capital blog. Tom is a proper hen’s tooth, a good unionist with a real insight into the murky world of big finance (and a very good chap to boot).

I’ll be following his new blog very keenly, as corporate governance and shareholder action is an area where unions could make some very big gains, and I’m ashamed to admit it’s currently all Greek to me (I can just about order a bottle of retsina and a kebab, but that’s as far as it goes!)
