Here's a site that calculates basically how much you're being exploited in a company. It's mostly for American stock exchanges, but if you can find the financial reports of your company you can apply the same method (it's nicely described). https://yourfairshare.info/ The top comment doesn't really work, because even if workers pooled the money together, shareholders or execs might refuse to sell their shares if they are expecting it to grow and pay them out more in the future. Buying up companies to turn into coops doesn't work (except for failing/bankrupt companies), because it takes capital to do that, which workers don't have by definition.

Market cap is around **$141 billion**. Number of employees is around **60,000**. 60% of employees: **36,000**. 60% of market cap: **$84 billion**. $84B / 36,000 = $2.33 million.
