    But yeah, dawg, worker co-ops are fake news.

    PS: is there some reason you omitted the two sentences before that which make it clear this is one method of organizing worker’s co-ops?

    If exercised directly, all members meet regularly to make—and vote on—decisions on how the co-operative is run. Direct workers’ cooperatives sometimes use consensus decision-making to make decisions

      One thing I think is telling is how corporate law firms, accounting firms, consulting firms, financial firms etc. will happily provide their services advising shareholder corporations on how to operate, but are themselves organized as partnerships.
