It's so strange to notice that we live in a democratic society but work in authoritarian organizations (for employees at least). By getting rid of unions, we made it clear as to who owns the companies and who have rights within the company. Having some say in the direction that the company is moving towards seems like a reasonable thing to ask for.
- colmvp 12y agoThis is especially more funny when you consider corporate influence in politics, along with the influence of money. Corporations and the rich have a disproportionate influence yet it would be audacious to ever propose workers having a vote in these matters. Owners of corporations are of course delighted when employees are fractured, unable to coalesce to wage battles for greater equality and say in decision-making and sharing profits.

Where to even start? As an extreme, I hire a kid to mow my lawn. Then he comes up to me and says he wants to have a say in the direction that my household is going. That's reasonable, right? Of course, I'd tell him to save his money to get his own house. If you want input, become a stockholder, or start your own business.
