I wonder if it would be possible to make a charitable organisation that receives and buys stock in companies and holds it on behalf of their workers, letting the workers vote with that stock.
That might be a small avenue to workplace democracy.
If it ever gets enough of a company, it could turn it into a proper co-operative.
