What is the pathway to workers having a real say in the workplace?
The alternative production LUCAS PLAN in Britain in the 1970’s proposed greater workers’ control at the Birmingham Aerospace plant. Colin Redmond argues that it has something to say to us today.

Aside from quitting their job, what people in this situation can do in their out-of-workplace mode to contribute to systemic change, if in a country without #Codetermination [1] or with a weak tradition of cooperatives [2][3], is join orgs/networks that campaign for legislation for codetermination, cooperatives, other #WorkplaceDemocracy [4].

I'm having a new personal vendetta with #linkedin . Only posting #leftwing points there. Done by an LLM because fight fire with fire.
Example of today:
We're quick to innovate on technology, but why are we so slow to innovate on how we organize our people?The traditional top-down corporate structure often feels like it's from a different century. I believe the future of work is more democratic, transparent, and equitable.
Imagine organizations where:
Value is shared more broadly with those who create it.
Decisions are made with input from those who are most affected by them.
Success is defined not just by a stock price, but by the health and sustainability of the entire organization—its workers, its community, and its environment.
This isn't a utopian fantasy. Co-ops, B-Corps, and forward-thinking companies are already proving that you can be both principled and profitable. They show that giving people real agency isn't a cost; it's your greatest competitive advantage.
It's time to stop seeing people as resources to be managed and start seeing them as partners in the mission. How can we start building more economic democracy within our existing systems?

Save the date: 21 January 2025 - Debate on Workplace Democracy at @universityofgroningen Studium Generale, with philosopher @LisaHerzog, #FNV #union member Tuur Elzinga and Manuel Reyes (@manu)
Most people would agree that the only legitimate form of government is democracy. Yet, when most of us go to work we enter a world that is rather undemocratic. But why shouldn't the workplace also be a democracy?

“‘I don’t think you solve the systemic economic problems just with worker co-ops,’ [John Duda of @redemmas] says. ‘There needs to be a larger context in which worker co-ops are embedded — a larger fight. But I think there’s something really important and really precious about worker co-ops as a laboratory or a kind of learning.’”

Yet another argument for workplace democracy. These decisions don't need to be made by a management elite and imposed on workers. In fact, there's boatloads of evidence that companies become more resilient and productive when workers make decisions together about how our own workplaces function.
The 1993 book Maverick by Ricardo Semler offer a fantastically detailed case study. As does Companies We Keep by John Abrams.

@dustcircle People who find this #PoliticalPhilosophy interesting will enjoy David Ellerman's work on political theory. He shows how liberal inalienable rights theory and property theory actually imply #anticapitalism and support for workers' inalienable right to #WorkplaceDemocracy. He shows that the principles that capitalist philosophers appeal to to defend #capitalism are actually violated under capitalism
Here is a chapter he wrote on this: https://www.ellerman.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Article-from-ReclaimingLiberalismEbook.pdf -
#USA #WorkplaceDemocracy #CorporateGovernance #PoliticalScience: "A majority of Americans spend a substantial amount of time at work where they have little to no say over many issues—a phenomenon that philosophers have likened to a “private government” that resembles a dictatorship. Is this because Americans are indifferent to or even prefer to work for firms that resemble dictatorships? To answer this question, we field a conjoint experiment on a nationally-representative sample of Americans to isolate public preferences over “corporate regime type.” We find that Americans prefer workplace democracy. In a second experiment, we find that most Americans support workplace democracy even after being exposed to framing emphasizing democratization’s costs. The results suggest that social scientists must look beyond public opinion to understand the lack of workplace democracy in the United States. This article forges new ground by applying a political science lens to corporate governance—a field ripe with politics but bereft of political science."

"Inalienable Rights: Part I The Basic Argument" Against the Employer-Employee System and for #WorkplaceDemocracy
https://www.ellerman.org/inalienable-rights-part-i-the-basic-argument/
This article discusses how the contemporary system of labor relations treats employees as things rather than persons thus denying their humanity, and violating rights they have because of their personhood. Instead, work should be democratically controlled by the people doing it
