Another thing is that "workers in the decision loop" reeks of socialism.

Toyota do not have that kind of response though, as being Japanese in origin the leadership have a bit of Giri left in their thinking.

In some European nations after WW2 it was not uncommon to have enough worker representatives in the board room that they could affect a vote.

These days its been stripped down to a token union man that has little to no chance of affecting the decisions.
