I guess but it doesn't really solve many problems. Much more importantly, every company should be held to strict standards by a democratic institution of laws.

For examples:

  1. Both workers rights and pay rates need to be regulated to a bare minimum, because there will always be cases of some people (or groups of people) who try to abuse others and work around the rules. Example: Uber skirts employee benefits by not having "employees", large companies have "subsidiary companies", etc.

  2. Even if a company of 500 people always look out for themselves and each other, they might still become a detriment to the larger society or hostile towards similar companies.

Having both tight regulatory bodies and strong union/cooperatives are fine, but regulation comes first imo.
