Workers, employee-owned businesses and cooperatives.

To avoid the confrontations and struggles that often occur between business/management and workers, it would be really exciting and liberating and ultimately infinitely more satisfying if more Americans were to start their own employee-owned businesses and cooperatives and bypass altogether the larger, richer, and often heavy-handed and wrongfully, selfishly demanding big businesses that treat workers like shit. Americans could, and should, start building and growing their own local businesses and do themselves the big favor of controlling their own businesses and taking control over their own interests. It would free them up from being controlled by people who don’t work. The two greatest things about employee-owned businesses is that they can be set up any way that the owners, the workers themselves, want and agree to together as a group, but also that they are more economically just and fair with fairer pay and less economic inequality between the various jobs in the organization and the management, since it is composed of the worker employee owners of the businesses. They can set up the business so that all employees, management AND workers, all have nearly the same economic equity and earn salaries that are closer together and where everyone makes a good wage and all have the same benefits. This kind of a metamorphosis of the economy and the way that Americans live their lives would be very good for economy. We could definitely use more businesses like this.
