As long as the workers have a say in what that leader does and how much he gets paid, then this is not an issue. But the leader must be doing his share of the work as well.
fair enough. so they vote once a month on to keep the leader/decision maker. if the vote fails the system defaults to what it was before.
Yeah, basically it's all according to the will of the voters. A Co-op might elect to have multiple leaders or have a completely different structure. Everyone who works gets to vote.
could you say that by continuing to work at the business (or Co-op) every day a worker is voting for the leader and leaving the business/co-op is a vote of no confidence?
