https://youtu.be/py1C_4ZX174 The iron law of oligarchy is a political theory first developed by the German-born Italian sociologist Robert Michels in his 1911 book, Political Parties. It asserts that rule by an elite, or oligarchy, is inevitable as an "iron law" within any democratic organization as part of the "tactical and technical necessities" of the organization. Michels's theory states that all complex organizations, regardless of how democratic they are when started, eventually develop into oligarchies. Michels observed that since no sufficiently large and complex organization can function purely as a direct democracy, power within an organization will always get delegated to individuals within that group, elected or otherwise.

For some time the consensus has been that democracy is the most desirable form of government. But if democracy is so great, why aren't companies run like countries? In this week's podcast, we discuss democracy in business. We explore the multitude of company arrangements and ownership structures, Peter explains his principles for benevolent governance and how they differ from running a business and we trace back the origins of democracy to test whether the analogy between democracy in government and in business holds. Finally, we share the system of government we would most like to live in.

On Monday, April 25, the N. Charles cafe in Baltimore's Mt. Vernon neighborhood became the first Starbucks location in Maryland to unionize. The final election results, certified by the National Labor Relations Board, were a clean sweep: 14 “Yes” votes and zero “No” votes out of 22 eligible voters, with zero voided ballots. In this special podcast edition of Battleground Baltimore, recorded minutes after the official vote count, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with four Starbucks partners from the N. Charles location—Violet Sovine, Nico Finol, Jennifer Clawson, and Kieren Levy—about their collective fight for an inclusive, safe, and democratic workplace, and about the larger movement to organize Starbucks partners across the country.Read the transcript of this podcast: Pre-Production/Studio: Maximillian AlvarezPost-Production: Jules TaylorHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

I went over Bernie Sanders workplace democracy plan and read through what he would implement if he would win the presidency. The plan has some really good provisions and would benefit many Americans from being exploited.

Everything Co-op broadcast live from Capitol Hill, with attendees of the Eastern Conference for Workplace Democracy (ECWD). The conference was held in Baltimore, Maryland, October 18 - 20, 2019. Four attendees of the conference discuss their backgrounds in cooperatives, and what they hope to gain from participating in the conference. The ECWD, founded in 2002, is a conference that builds awareness of worker-owned businesses while strengthening existing worker co-ops. This three day conference in Baltimore will make space for connection, education, skill-building, and sharing, for worker-owners and allied leaders who work to improve the lives of workers and their families. The ECWD has been convened every two years in the Eastern United States, and was last hosted by Baltimore in 2011. This will be the first year that the program is organized directly by the US Federation of Worker Co-ops, this country's national grassroots membership organization for worker-owned cooperatives.

With the attacks on workers’ rights nurses applaud Senator Bernie Sander's Workplace Democracy Act. "This bill is desperately needed by all non-union workers across the country who need a union and who want a union, but who are denied their right to freedom of association and the right to bargain collectively because of employer harassment, intimidation and opposition", said RN and Co-President of National Nurses United, Jean Ross. The bill is a topic of discussion on this week’s Nurse Talk Radio program.

Haufe has an interesting approach to HR solutions -- more democracy. Listen to Kelly Max's successes and challenges in the discovery of democracy's power.

As U.S. voters exercised their democratic right in last month's Presidential election, the practice of democracy in rapidly spreading to all areas of life, most notably in the workplace.  Companies are beginning to offer employees the power to vote on various workplace amenities such as snacks in the breakroom, or even the location of the next company outing... but what if employees had the power to make more significant and impactful decisions like voting to keep or fire their CEO? Join Meghan M. Biro and Mr. Kelly Max, CEO of Haufe on Wednesday, December 7 at 1pm EST, as they discuss this intriguing and cutting-edge topic.

You cannot be what you cannot see, they say. We all saw an economy in crisis a few years ago. Now, in between fear of another crash and pain in a supposed recovery, many Americans are frustrated. Last year, researchers with the Pew Center found that 78 percent of Americans believe that too much power is concentrated in a few huge companies. Sixty two percent believe our current economic system is rigged in favor of the most powerful. But what else is possible? At GRITtv we've always been most curious about that. What can everyday people do, not just to survive in the world we know, with its poverty, pollution and war, but to create one with the real food, good fellowship and rewarding livelihoods that make life fabulous. Worker owned cooperatives, where workers are offered a share in the company and a say in decision-making are one way to redistribute economic power. The successful ones have a good track record of reducing inequality and building local asset. But co-ops aren't easy, and they aren't for everybody. A year ago, GRITtv and TESA, the Toolbox for Education and Social Action teamed up to look more closely at what it takes for a worker owned cooperative to succeed. The result is Own the Change: Building Economic Democracy One Worker Co-op at a Time a short documentary featuring conversations with worker-owners from Union Cab; Ginger Moon; Arizmendi Bakery, New Era Windows; and more. Own the Change gives an overview of what a worker co-op is, how it can transform lives and communities, and the realities of starting one. In addition to the film, we have created a series of educational resources to be used alongside this documentary. Interested? Just as people creating co-operatives are trying to do business differently, we believe in doing media differently. Would building democracy and working together be easier if our media gave us as many visions of people collaborating as they do of people competing? What if we were encouraged to participate as much we are pushed to purchase? And what if we measured prosperity not by how high we could pile up resources, but how widely we could spread them out? Would our heroes not to mention our politicians look different? Just maybe. See "Own the Change" in full this week on "The Laura Flanders Show" on TeleSUR English or LinkTV and get your hands those educational resources through our website. That's GRITtv.org.
