Is the UK's New Prime Minister a Fan of Employee Ownership?

Theresa May, who became the prime minister of the United Kingdom this week, has fueled speculation that she may be an enthusiastic supporter of the UK's burgeoning employee ownership sector. In her speech on July 11 while campaigning to be prime minister, she did not directly address employee ownership, but she did focus on building a more inclusive economy and said, "if I'm prime minister, we're going to . . . have not just consumers represented on company boards, but employees as well."
