This is really interesting as well, and I'm of the opinion at least a shred of 'corporate information' should be more widely shared among employees, specifically as it relates to company health, longevity and compensation programs.
There's only so much that can be learned from publicly available statements. So, when somebody might want to point out "Hey look our company has been profitable and growing at 3% for the past XX quarters so why are you not even giving small-fry employees a COLA raise?" it could be a reasonable discussion. I don't see that happening, as you say, based on the "might makes right" platform of ranking.
It's a pretty bad situation for employees in my opinion, and yet I don't think there's any established 'format' or 'platform' where such information is more widely shared or discussed in US workplaces.
Yeah I'm all for that labor arrangement but unfortunately it has not been even a remote possibility in my professional career in the US thus far. Maybe that will change in time. I hope so.
