I'm thinkin' this was tried in the USSR. They gave it 70 years. Didn't work out so well--------Power To The People! Zingerman's Deli Will Become A Workers' Co-Op

Power To The People! Zingerman's Deli Will Become A Workers' Co-Op –  Deadline Detroit:
"In the next few years, Zingerman's deli in Ann Arbor plans to adopt a radical business model, becoming a worker cooperative, where its 600-plus employees will own the company and influence its direction, reports Richard Feloni in Business Insider.
Zingerman's has long been an outlier when it comes to business practice, Feloni notes, but this is a true transformation.
A worker co-op is an old business model that has seen renewed interest post-recession due to a lack of investors creating jobs in communities. "
