Isn’t this what a joint-stock company does? Anyone can purchase shares (in privately held companies its more difficult but often possible) which grants them proportional votes for things that the board of directors lay out. Every tech company I know of grants workers options/stock. What more is fair? What is it about worker status that should grant them outsized influence on a company and not, say, customers? Of course a joint-stock company allows customers to put skin in the game too (which a worker does not simply by being a worker) and giving them influence in addition to their ability to “vote with their wallet”. It solves all these problems and avoids the adversarial relationship issues.
