The workers didn't risk their own wealth to work for the company. Once again you (and thames-sider) are shoehorning the idea of wealth as gold or land. These workers did risk much to work for the company, they risked their time. They have only so much. I don't think it would be helpful to anyone to try and compensate time frivolously, that is why I think it should be compensated with a combination of immediate (salary) and long term capital which is precisely how the investment is compensated by immediate (dividends) and long term return of the principal.
