Is there a simple list of demands?
EVERY WORKER A MEMBER OF THE BOARD
This sounds like a terrible idea honestly. Also not within the realm of possibility.
Somehow I'm getting the sense that your very narrow view of the "realm of possibility" doesn't match, you know, the reality of things.
Sure ok. When every employee begins a board member I'll know I was wrong.
Someone already linked you to the concept. Maybe try this thing called "reading" sometime before this thing you do called "babbling".
The links are all about employee share holdings and elected representatives. There are no links regarding employee board membership, probably because it's an absurdity. One of us really does need to do some reading.

Aren’t there some Australians for you to discourage?
In sorry you find my views discouraging.
If your demands can't withstand some healthy criticism on lemmy then you're destined for failure.
Criticism is fine when paired with suggestions. Do you have any of the latter?
Sure. My suggestion is to strategically select appropriate demands, rather than just latching on to edgy sounding phrases like "make every employee a board member".
I think you're taking that all caps comment a bit too seriously.
Perhaps, although it looks like a significant portion of users think its a serious suggestion, and are conflating board membership with representation.
Works great in Germany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codetermination_in_Germany

Also, massive, succesful, worker-owned co-ops like Mondragon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondragon_Corporation

But yeah, go with whatever your uninformed gut says.
I can't be bothered reading every link.
The first one describes employees electing board members, which is not the same as being a board member.
Do you really believe that mandatory representation like this is a possible outcome of these protests? I think you'd need overwhelming public support to make it mandatory.
The comment I replied to suggests making every employee a board member. That's not the same as an employee owned company. You might want to do some research.
Pizza for some, small American flags for others!
The funny part about you arguing the validity of this is that it's a prominent quote from Disco Elysium.
The point being that it's an impossible demand meant to shut down any negotiations to seize the means of production for the union.
The people explaining every other worker owned structure are substantially more valid than you pointing back at my silly strawman tho.
