I have myself have done this by rewriting our companies mission statement at swift to include some employee financial goals, (not just recognition) , in our mission statement.
this last section is what swift calls the “vision statemment”. my inserts will be bracket as follows: <my insert additions>.
THIS IS So you can see how lopsided these mission statements are against employees when it comes to sharing in tHe profits EMPLOYEES are expected to help create.
This is the first step for a capitalist union: get employee financial goals in the companies mission statement along with profit goals.
Both can be met. BUT if employees financial goals are not in the plan why would companies bother to worry about them. COMPANIES MAY even work against employee wages.
Here’s my revision OF Swift’s “guiding princi[ples and mission statement as amended by a_smart_union of capitalist employees and owners
