Reply #213: This is why we need a real socialist work place [View All]

[ThomThom]

As it is now there is no democracy in the work place, employer can be as totalitarian as they wish. If we had more worker owned places of employment, where workers had a real voice in operations this bullshit would end. The idea that a pot smoker is more impaired than someone that drinks heavily on their time off is ludicrous. People with hang-overs in the morning are not creative problem solvers they are dead weight. If we were to follow the German example and bring democracy to the work place many other problems like polluting the commons and sending jobs overseas would go away. Socializing the work place is a positive for democracy.
