To some extent, yes. He strongly believes that every employee under him should get some of their compensation in the company stock.

Of course, the amount of stock the typical line worker gets is not very high.

Jeff Bezos strongly believed the same thing, and gave his employees stock in lieu of higher wages... until AMZN passed $2000 a share, at which point he strongly believed in phasing out RSUs and productivity bonuses in favor of higher wages.

That was a direct response to repeated criticism from various politicians over "low wages" because they didn't bother to take the incentive programs into account. So you can blame Bernie Sanders for that one.
