Workplace Democracy is the application of democracy to the workplace. (Voting systems, due process, systems of appeal, etc.)
Workplace democracy is extremely versatile; It can be implemented in as many ways as political democracy is implemented. Its implementation often depends on the size and culture of the organization.
Historically, workplace democracy has followed the labor movement both in the UK and the US. But with the decline in organized labor, especially in the US and US-controlled firms, workers have fewer opportunities to experience workplace democracy.
Workplace democracy is a key compenent in many forms of socialism, such as market socialism, because it replaces decisions made by private individuals with decisions made by workers. Organizations that implement workplace democracy are considered worker co-operatives.

"Workplaces should be structured more like democracies than monarchies"
"Workplace democracy is based as fuck."
"Tankies never talk about decommodification and workplace democracy."

Get the Workplace Democracy mug.The voting section of the site was the democracy. Wrong level of abstraction. Deliberately. To steal from me.
Hym "You know that this is not what I meant by 'Democracy.' You need to stop letting him suggesting things he knows will not work to protract is own worthless existence AT THE COST OF YOUR OWN. The time he wastes is not free for you. There is a cost he is deferring when he does this."

Get the Dictator democracy mug.Something the Urban Dictionary doesn't believe in because instead of letting urbdic users upvote or downvote a definition, they have this friend called the Algorithm. He is a mythical genie who decides what goes viral and what doesn't. Unfortunately, he/she/they/them/him/her/ will choose whether something has more likes than dislikes or has more dislikes than likes rather than people on urban dictionary to decide for themselves.
Urban dictionary needs to put Algorithm in retirement and impose a democracy so the urbdic community can decide which definition is good and which definition is bad.
