Labour, Care and Economic Democracy: Policy Profile 2.9: WORKPLACE DEMOCRACY
This proposal considers implementing a dynamic trajectory for firm democratisation and value-chain inclusion as a predistributive component of a roadmap to eradicating poverty beyond growth. Corporate decision-making power is generally concentrated in the hands of shareholders and top executives, while workers – who generate value and bear the risks of restructuring, relocation, or automation – have little influence over strategic choices. This imbalance contributes to wage suppression, deteriorating working conditions, short-term profit maximisation, and decisions that undermine long-term social and ecological sustainability.
