      Why is employee ownership such a good idea? It rewards work by: • Paying workers 5 to 12% more. • Workers having 2.2x more in retirement savings. • Giving workers greater job stability.https://twitter.com/sengillibrand/status/991053940530692096 …

      Today, I'm traveling around Central NY and the Capital Region to talk about my bipartisan employee ownership legislation. This idea was inspired by the hardworking New Yorkers I met while visiting all 62 counties last year. pic.twitter.com/LKR3VZzPLV

      Employee ownership is also good for business. Companies see an increase in productivity by 4 to 5% the year the business becomes employee-owned. They are less likely than comparable businesses to lay off workers in economic downturns, and they are less likely to go bankrupt.

          Of course it is. How is a business less capitalist if the owners work there? Every one-person business in the world is employee-owned. Unless you think this legislation requires employee ownership, which I don't think it does (though I am not sure).

          employee-owned business is literally the definition of socialism

          No, societal ownership of businesses is socialist. But employees owning the individual business they work at is not.

          Do you have a source for your rambling, or do you just like to insult people? Does it make you feel more knowledgeable to insult others?

          Senator, what does your legislation propose? There is nothing standing in the way of employee-owned businesses that I'm aware of. What would your legislation change?
