"democracy is government... by the people...of the people...for the people... but the people are retar*d"
Like everything, the best things probably require balance, and the devil is in the details. IMHO it has merit, but with caveats.
I would not want to have the same shares as a normal worker if I have personal risks (like a work security responsible, or CEO). For better or worse, CEOs have experience in guiding companies, and almost no employees have that.
OTOH even a small worker representation might do wonders, increase engagement, better law compliance and the like.
the options are not just 0% and 100% to workers, there could be different requirements depending on the size of the company.
Small companies could be required to have a bigger worker representation, because the impacts of the single worker is much higher.
The weight of the workers' shares in money could be different than its weight in the decisions of the company, too.
Maybe the workers just get a vote for X% on the board, regardless of actual shares.
