Imagine the workers of a business owning the company they work for. Imagine being able to fire/hire your CEO and bosses.
This is how worker-owned cooperatives already work today. We could just expand that idea to all businesses.
I wish my union hall would talk about this. We have almost a billion in investments, 5500 active members, 1500 retired. Around 50 employers in the group, feels like we're getting jerked around by the biggest 3 of the companies. Sure would be interesting to open a truly worker/union owned coop to level out the playing field and demonstrate how much value we throw away into the company coffers.
You could also look into what size stock investment the union can afford. Can you get better leverage as an owner?
i want to work at a worker coop sooo fucking bad. most of the problems at every job ive ever had were caused by the greed crazy upper management.
