Seems like a reasonable question to ask, but one less urgent for the employees (or anyone, really) to resolve than these other policy questions they're interested in. I do agree that Google should operate as a worker's collective instead of as a corporation with shareholders, but I don't think it's a prerequisite for anything. (Also I'm pretty sure literally every employee involved is a shareholder with personal finances exposed to the state of the company. Stock is a serious form of compensation at Google.)
