Occupy Underground

If there is any real "solution" as to how to fix our economy from the
ground-roots up, THIS is it. More power to these brave workers for
standing up for their stake in the company; hopefully now they can
actualize their stake and buy out the owner for pennies on the dollar.

Check out Richard Wolff, he's going all over the nation and preaching
his worker ownership "good news" that labor needs to return to it's
Knights of Labor 19th Century roots, and have workers literally OWN
the means of production and profit, rather than "bargain" for the
crumbs off greedy capitalist tables.

These kinds of deals CAN EASILY BE incentivized by the Fed and state
government's quasi-public economic development agencies. I helped
get worker ownership programs up and running at the state government
level in Oregon decades ago.

This is one of the things I wish Obama would invest majorly into, so
workers can begin winning back their right to a decent wage and some
employment security.
