- paxys 3y agoPlenty of companies are "employee owned" because the founders control the majority of shares. One person or a small group of people – whether they are employees or not – having total decision making power is the opposite of what worker collective means.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoWho decided on that definition? In my books share ownership can be unequal, so long as the bottom rung still have a few shares each.
- paxys 3y agoAnyone can make up their own definition, but there are also some standard ones – e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_cooperative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_cooperative
- MichaelZuo 3y agoLike I said, please provide actual names or organizations with credible authority, such as the OED, and link the source. EDIT: I'm not going to do this work for you and dig through all the places cited at the bottom to see if there's some source with that credible authority that proposes such a definition.
