Welcome to the Corporation at 10,000 Campaign

No corporation should employ more than 10,000 people.

The Corporation at 10,000 Campaign wants to regulate corporations to remain at 10,000 employees or less.

What's wrong with large corporations?

1. Large corporations use their market power to reduce the price they pay their suppliers for products.

2. Large corporations drive out competitors and create barriers to entry in a given market, stifling competition and innovation.  

3. Large corporations are soulless places run by business and HR managers who use legal HR "best practice" to exploit workers and reduce their life choices.  

4. The larger a corporation becomes, the more it begins to influence and shape the society it operates in, resulting in living practices that are bad for human health and social welfare. 

5. Large corporations are more powerful than governments because they operate on a global, cross-jurisdictional basis, and so are able to circumvent the legal framework that the rest of us have to live by i.e. taxes and waste management.

6. Governments are afraid of large corporations because they need their tax and their employment to propel their respective economies.  As a result many western governments let large corporations get away with anything. 

7. The CEOs of large corporations exert a huge amount of control and very often individuals make questionable decisions, which affect us all negatively (Dick Fuld).

8. Many large corporations are not accountable to anyone but themselves because their shareholders are too diverse and have no control over them. 

9. Large corporations exist for one reason only and that is profit.  They have no interest in society or the welfare of the community.

10. Large corporations have a huge amount of wealth to use to sue, lobby and trade their way out of any difficult or embarrassing situation.

We need your help to collect information about the effects of large corporations on our society.  Please follow this campaign and show your support, make a pledge and take an action.
