Non-profits aren't usually governed by their workers. They're usually governed by an elected or appointed board.
What I'm describing is a system in which all businesses become what are currently known as "worker cooperatives". In that system, if management produces conditions that the workers don't like, the workers vote management out.
I'm not aware of any worker cooperatives that have unionized, though I believe Mondragon (one of the biggest, oldest, and most successful worker cooperatives) does have what amounts to a multicameral system with one of the councils filling the roll of the union in advocating for line workers. [1]
