Worker Co-Determination as Path to Responsible Firms

Empowering workers within the firm through co-determination—giving workers a say in management—could make companies more socially responsible, because most employees have an ethical core and want meaningful work rather than work that merely makes money while spreading social toxicity; this worker-empowerment route is preferable to state regulation, which carries its own dangers.

Evidence Quote

if you empower them within the firm, they can move it in better direction. So I do think in this case, worker empowerment will probably be one way to solve the problem, because I don't necessarily think that the government, that is the state, I don't want them necessarily to be imposing regulations, that has dangers of its own.
