Yes, your view of a co-op is too narrow: http://ncba.coop/what-is-a-coop http://ncba.coop/what-is-a-coop

  Ok but one of the 7 cooperative principles in that link is "democratic member control", which is exactly what I'm referring to. If you're going to say, oh well not every employee is a "member", well, I don't think you can make the claim that because Coca Cola has employees that might be stockholders, that that makes it a coop.

    Any company has democratic member control, but the "members" are the shareholders. Coops aren't any different.

    No it's not what you are referring to. The mistake you are making is thinking employees == members.
