That's pretty backwards entitled thinking. Shareholders elect a board because they own the company and have rights to manage their assets. Employees are a resource. They have no such rights.

Not necessary. It is narrow minded to only see employees as a resource to exploit.

Actually giving people a voice and representation is good and won't hurt

A voice is fine. But a board seat is not a voice, it’s extraordinary power. You are not entitled to that.

Without employees, there would be no company, and all conversation about what shareholders want would be moot.

Employees have extraordinary power - especially if they work together to use it.
