WORKING DEMOCRACY
Job security Workers’ jobs are secure only when workers, not employers, own those jobs. When a handful of people on a corporation’s board of directors can make decisions that destroy the livelihoods of thousands of workers, that’s not democracy. Working Democracy puts basic economic decisions in the hands of the people. Nobody is going to vote to eliminate their own source of livelihood unless the community of workers decides they can produce something different that has a greater benefit for the country. Coordinating their decision with the rest of the economy through their elected industrial management councils and Congress, including the educational division that can teach workers new skills, workers and communities can adjust their jobs to meet the changing needs and wants of society. The livelihoods of workers will be preserved instead of destroyed, with added benefit for society as a whole. A shorter workweek
