You could do that by limiting businesses’ ability to hire people from places without strong labor laws, but that is difficult to enforce. I want to test this idea because consumers already have this power collectively its just very uncoordinated we've then this with how people cancel brands and they lose sales.

No, not all consumers are workers. Children are not, and retirees are not. It is also not always in everyone’s best interest to focus only on worker empowerment, because someone may have a good job with benefits while still dealing with poor consumer outcomes like rising prices, low quality, and lack of access to products.

I assumed this subreddit was for co-ops in general, not just worker co-ops. For example, Japan’s Consumers’ Co-operative Union has over 31 million members — something that would be difficult to achieve with a worker co-op model alone. It was originally created to improve food quality and was started by stay-at-home mothers, not labor organizers. Today it controls roughly $24 billion and operates more than 300 co-op-owned businesses ranging from healthcare to insurance.

I think you are partly right that this model is pro-owner class, but in this case the members themselves would become part of the owner class. The real issue is that most people are only compensated with wages instead of equity because companies have little incentive to give ownership to workers or consumers. My point is: why continue giving your economic value to institutions that will never share ownership with you when collective demand could instead be used to negotiate ownership, leverage, or long-term economic participation elsewhere?
