Insurance giant Aviva has become the first major business to quit the scandal-hit Confederation of British Industry (CBI), after a second woman alleged she was raped while working at the business group.
It comes just over a week after CBI boss Tony Danker was sacked over “devastating” workplace misconduct complaints. The board of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) said Mr Danker’s conduct “fell short” of what was expected of him and said there had been “serious failings” in how it acted as an organisation.
