I've always loved this idea but the fact that the bill has lay dormant since 2012 tells you the political will makes this a fantasy. I wonder if we couldn't shift the mission of unions. Instead of being soley a negotiating body for wages with basically strikes as their only weapon, perhaps unions could help employees buy out employers or fund new worker owned business like the employee bank would. Unions could directly negotiate with the government for additional funds, giving employees a stronger advantage to buy out failing businesses. Just a thought. Do you know if this has been tried, Joe?
