IMHO in order to be consistent with Cooperative principles, it would not matter how many Units you have, you only get one vote.
I agree. If a person wants to purchase more Units that's their relationship with the operational side of the co-op. Management and Control issues should be decided by the members and workers - if the latter aren't also the former - based on the Industrial Democratic ideal. Besides, those more financially invested GET a payback for their investment; asking for more is asking for double compensation, IMO.
... there are no "dividends" per se ...
haven't been able to think of a better word. I'd like to have something else to use -- got any lying around? :-)
