How about the workers studying the workplace situation and
collegially remodelling it, and this not as a "one shot
deal", but as something to be built into
the rebuilt structure of the work world?
For the co-product of all
work is the form of life of the workers.

How about us asking the question whether human freedom
can be lived by delegation, i.e., by "representative"
structures, which are structures of the
representatives even when the representatives
genuinely dedicate their collegial life to
doing good for the represented?
How about asking the question in what ways
if any the artificial distinction between
"politics" and "management" makes any sense.
It seems to me that workplace management
is just as political as "politics", if not
moreso, since it determines the shape of
shared social life (the "Polis" -- albeit
that word sounds too honorific here).

And, even if man does not live by bread alone,
I would argue he lives differently by
Wonder Bread than by whole grain loaf.
The best thing since sliced bread would
be for persons to cultivate pulling
bread apart with their hands -- bread that
was up to that challenge.
Etc.
