Employees should be meeting with each other without management oversight.
Unions have been around for decades but most companies do not have unions anymore. Labor laws are in place to prevent too much workplace hardships and heaven is fully aware of the abundance of lawyers who are ready to sue a company on behalf of an employee who feels they are being mistreated. I still wonder why employees let managers meet together and make plans for everyone else but never meet themselves. It would seem beneficial for employee representatives to meet with each other once a month and discuss what is working or what is not working in their roles at the company. We spend so much time complaining about new initiatives or bashing certain performance metrics but spend little time empowering ourselves to take the reins. Perhaps we overlook how powerless managers would be if employees began to take more control.
