"Employees have power over the company. They can leave it for another company." While technically true, in reality, it's not nearly the amount of power that the company has over employees. For one, except in very spectacular cases, a company is not going to fail because one or two employees decided to quit. However, an employee that does not have a job is going to starve and become homeless. Given that the company can take away the ability of the employee to be able to make rent and buy food, but the most the employee can do is jump to another job, I wouldn't extoll this as some equalizing power the workers have over the company.
