Bosses under fire for telling staff to vote Tory or risk job loss

Two company bosses have come under fire for allegedly asking their staff to vote Conservative in the previous general election, or risk losing their jobs.

The Guardian reports that John Brooker, of Storm Technologies, allegedly told staff to vote Tory “if you value your job”. Brooker, the MD of Storm Technologies, wrote to employees on the day of the election, saying that he hoped they would “exercise your right to elect your chosen candidate/party”.
