A small profit, perhaps the generous sum of 10 % will be allowed for the shareholders and executives. But the majority of profits will be redirected back into an equal split of three ways:
1) Giving the current staff more money.
2) Hiring more staff to reduce the unemployment problem
3) Repairing business infrastructure, such as leaking roofs and unreliable pipes.
All corporate officers will be required to work 39 hours a week in non-managerial, hourly, physical labor at the business. Their presence cannot be used to justify minimizing staff. The purpose of this is to break the corporate mindset by forcing them to see what actual work is like and what is needed for a business to not merely function, but excel, - which, most of the time, is not the corporate club and their meaningless games.
All workers will be given contracts so that they cannot be fired or laid off at-will, and have recourse if they are. Only members of the corporate club will be considered at-will.
Since there will be virtually no, or at least diminished, corporate power here, store managers will make the decisions. However, those decisions are also subject to a vote by the workforce. 60 % approval is the requirement for a mismanagement decision to pass.
There will be workplace democracy. This means that Constitutional rights, such as free speech, do not go away merely because you are on the clock. The business cannot deprive you of your rights, such as free speech, (including what you wear so long as it is workplace-appropriate) and no search and seizure without a warrant.
This also means that new managers, and most promotions, will be decided by election rather than by corporate fiat. Managers shall also be subject to impeachment if they are found to be abusive to their staff.
Any attempt to close the business to escape these new rules shall be considered instead to be self-termination on the part of the one attempting to close the company. As a result, the business' ownership will be immediately handed over to the workforce, with the entire corporate executives' jobs immediately declared null and void.
It shall be considered shameful for a company to have employees who have need of the safety nets, because it indicates a failure to provide adequate pay and benefits. The company must correct the situation, even at the cost of the CEO's salary.
