The point is that worker owned businesses are one method to create a better balance between worker's rights and needs and owner's desire for profits. I disagree with the statement "It is a fantasy to think that kind of employment environment can be created."
The plutocrats and their conservative allies constantly try to convince us that individual initiative is the only way to achieve a rewarding work life and that we need to accept the ups and downs of the global economy and corporate/plutocrat decisions. My point is that workers and others can organize, take action to create alternative business models and implement regulations so that workers aren't divided and conquered by plutocrats trying to maximize profits by sacrificing their employee's quality of life.
Do you have some examples of where 'worker owned businesses' have accomplished that?
Because I do....a lot in fact during the 80's and 90's, all gone but a few now....
all but a few.....Just one good success will do
