WASHINGTON – In the Stanford Social Innovation Review, James Boomgard notes that “there is at least one thing that Democrats, Republicans, and Independents all agree on: they would all rather work in an employee-owned firm than some other kind of enterprise. ‘Americans disagree about a lot of things, but this is not one of them,’ said Professor Joseph Blasi, Director of the Rutgers Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing. ‘Democrat or Republican, female or male, black or white, union or non-union, a majority of respondents [to a survey by the institute] said they prefer to work for a company with employee share ownership.’”
