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?

    I’d think that in an entirely and perfectly Anarchist society the concept of value relations wouldn’t exist as they do today for the idea of where the value ends up to make sense. Can any theory readers point me the right way? In a purely abstract sense, what happens to labor value and use value in a fully collectivist mode of production?
