I can't agree, sure early employees have some stock (still usually muuuuuuuuuuuch less than founders) but a lot of the time there is a specific class of decision-makers/owners. Workers in big companies like Google get stock that through some fancy beaurocracy doesn't give them decision making-opportunities. I think workers-owners can agree to unequal salary, but even in startups they don't actually make decisions. The biggest known worker cooperative is Mondragon, so this can scale. I would probably try creating different type of structure to this from Mondragon (they still have director class that is chosen by majority vote), but it's an example of big worker coop. Motion Twin would be an example of a small worker coop, they have fixed equal salary which I think was a problem for them, they didn't want to scale so after they developed the game Dead Cells that was a fairly big success some people from this company created another company to be able to scale to develop the game.
