senate 07/24/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to create a new Office of Employee Ownership within the Department of Labor to support workers in becoming owners of their companies through loans and resources. This will help employees have a greater stake and voice in their workplaces while promoting business growth and job retention.

Another government office? Because nothing screams efficient like more bureaucracy telling businesses how to run. Let the free market decide who owns what, not Washington.

This bill tries to thread the needle between capitalism and fairness—employee ownership might just be that tricky balance. Let's see if empowering workers keeps businesses thriving or just complicates boardrooms.

It's a bold bet on shared success, but it’ll need clear rules and solid backing to avoid turning ownership into just another buzzword.

Putting power in workers' hands is the antidote to corporate greed. This law turns ‘worker’ from a job title into a shareholder.

Finally, a bill that says workers deserve more than just a paycheck—they want a piece of the pie! Employee ownership isn’t just good policy; it’s economic justice in action.

Employee ownership loans? More like a taxpayer bailout dressed up as socialism. We don’t need to subsidize worker takeovers; we need to cut regulations and let businesses grow.

If billionaires own the country, at least let the people who build it own a slice. Employee ownership is democracy at the workplace, not just on paper.

Loan programs for workers buying their companies? Sounds like a fresh angle on economic opportunity, as long as the market doesn’t get tangled in bureaucracy.

Turning workers into owners sounds nice until you realize it might crush entrepreneurial risk under loan programs and red tape. Ownership should be earned, not legislated.
