Aren't they? The top 300 cooperatives apparently accounted for 2.2 trillion in turnover back in 2017. https://web.archive.org/web/20171022081215/http://monitor.co...
So go set one up, then! And btw, none of the text in your cite says anything about 2.2 trillion in turnover.
I have set up a co-op. It's going quite well.

It really doesn’t, for me. Violence usually implies direct physical force. I find this to be a core aspect of the word. It’s punitive action, sure, but it isn’t violence because *nobody got hit/shoved/shot/etc. I don’t think any unfair, bad, or evil thing that indirectly affects another persons bodily health is violence. You’d start seeing violence everywhere, it seems. Bit of a stagnant, but is a tax increase violen…

It's funny that you complain about the 'ideological narratives of victimhood' while directly crafting a narrative where poor companies are victims to the vicious labor force. That said, you seem unfamiliar with the history of unionization and why these laws came into place. I recommend looking up what the Pinkertons did in order to stop companies being 'victimized' by workers.
I have read up on the history of unionization. The Pinkertons were brought in to stop unions from murdering replacement workers.

> Bone headed move. They must have miscalculated if they think the students will cave to this pressure It´s not about caving, I don´t think. It´s about maximum damage. University administration is one of the most ruthless groups you can come across. They´re well aware that they hold the future ambitions of these students in their hands. Even if they get sued, even if they lose, they´re well aware that they can utterl…
> University administration is one of the most ruthless groups you can come across. No joke, I managed to twist my way around bureaucrats for years, but university admissions was the one first I could just never beat
