Probably this is a very good example of a working business model!

Certainly is, but no good for control freaks like me, far too much democracy!

Seems a bit of a leftie article to me They are outsourced cleaners, so not employees.

John Lewis is a successful business, not a charity. Why should they pay above market rates for outsourced services?

Good comment though after the Guardian article:
And what is the situation at the Guardian with respect to their cleaners? Do they participate in the profits earned? How are they treated?

I am a great fan of John Lewis, have purchased quite a bit from them over the years. Spent yesterday smothered in printer ink, searched online for a new printer one cost

Thanks,

It just goes to show you that if you treat your employees right then your business can only go one way. John Lewis is a massive company that as been around for years and that's only set to continue but i bet like others companies they've had bad times and it would be good to know just what they do in bad times.
