This book, produced with the help of the radical New Consumer organisation, tells job hunters and others the details of the public policies and practices of Britain's largest employers - covering everything from pay and conditions and environmental policies to equal opportunities policies, involvement in the arms industry and employee profit sharing. The reports seem fair and comprehensive. Thus the five pages on British Airways compliment the company on its emerging environmental policy, its commitment to training and refresher courses and its profit-sharing scheme, whilst questioning its high-handed management style, its huge past pay rises to Lord King, its inadequate community involvement programme and its predatory pricing and anti-competitive practises directed against British Midland and Virgin.
