Pretty big difference between that and a worker owned place like Bobs Red Mill. We’re not talking about burning it down we’re talking about sharing profits and enabling workers to live comfortably too.
- Workaccount2 2y agoThe thing you learn as you get more involved in a company is that the workers on the bottom are paid the highest percentage of the value they create. i.e. bottom tier workers have the lowest margins of all workers, they are already keeping almost everything they create. So to "balance" this the only way to do it is to take from higher paid workers who already are getting paid much less than the value they create. That's why these systems are so rare and why they frequently collapse. People _really_ don't like carrying others weight any more than they have to.
- trust_bt_verify 2y agoThere is quite a bit of speculation here. Any sources to back up these feelings?
- monero-xmr 2y agoIf those places are so fantastic and a win-win for workers and consumers, then more of them will naturally be created because of the superior profit potential. What I will never support is the government putting a gun to my head to force me to create worker-owned businesses. You should win voluntarily with superior operating models, not the threat of jail.
