Let this tale make some basic, yet usually hidden, workplace realities 100% clear for everyone: 1) Labor and ownership have fundamentally opposing interests. 2) Ownership is utterly dependent upon labor. 3) Merging labor and ownership of an enterprise by removing nonproducing stockholders from the equation is the only sustainable way to eliminate the fundamental conflict of interest.

It is not a law of nature.
