There are examples of this type of model in action in America. They are in Michael Moore's Film Capitalism: A Love Story. I cannot remember the names or specifics of the companies, but one scene focused on the warehouse packaging plant. The warehouse workers made $60,000 a year, same as the warehouse manager, same as the CEO. The executive were humble, saying, "What do we need 20 cars for?" The other company was a little different, run sort of like a democracy. All business decisions were voted on by employees, and each employee in the company had an equal vote. You'd imagine it's much harder to cut someone's salary when they're sitting in the room watching you vote on it. Both companies, by the movie's depictions, were very well functioning with very happy employees. However, whenever referencing a Michael Moore film, it's important to point out the deceiving techniques he can use to portray his point. I thought the idea for the businesses were nice though.
