There is a bit of difference between having a seat on the board and owning or controlling a company. They should have had a seat long ago. Even my faculty union had a seat on the board of governors of our university as did another union and the student union as well. We didn't get the seats in exchange for concessions! Shemano called for worker ownership of GM, quite a different matter.
