I’m all for higher minimum wages, unions, paid leaves and other forms of worker protection, but it seems like the most forms of worker protection focus on maintaining a division between an employer(s) who owns the business and the employee who makes money for the business but does not own it. IMO, this division is unethical and exploitative because it denies the worker the full value of their work.

Are there any political or social movements that push for policy or legislation that makes all businesses to be worker owned cooperatives?

    Tangential to your post, it was bizarre seeing the rabidly anti-“left” politicians of my state (in Brazil) loudly praising the local culture of cooperativism and proudly signing into law the recognition of it being part of the immaterial culture of the state.
