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."

An individual who helps fill in during different situations and makes a situation seem real. Such as an extras on a movie set that make a scene come to life.
He already worked for the company so the new job opening was technically his. However, they still need to hold interviews and bring in Fluffer(workplace) for public show.
