WibblyWobblyWonder,
Taking your last question first: Employees have all the rights guaranteed by the Rules of Convention signed at KandorCon. Yes, we play at being completely independent, but we're still part of the Convention. Employees also have the right to be paid for their work, the right to refuse dangerous work that wasn't spelled out in their contract, the right to medical care for themselves and their families while employed (and after if they're injured on the job), the right to take time off (at least two weeks a year and usually more), and the right to seek other employment - in or out of StellviaCorp - whenever they want.
Shareholders aren't guaranteed vacation time. We get the rest of that package, though.
The shareholders are the only ones who get to vote, but anyone can make suggestions. Most ideas never get to the Board - they're acted on (or not) by lower and middle management. It's like petitioning your Mayor, Governor, or President - Noah Scott isn't the one you would ask if you wanted to re-zone the cubic you live in on your station from residential to commercial.
As to who represents the employees ... well, we don't have unions - yet - so it's up to management to do that. Noah's told me that we also have some "undercover" auditors who pose as temps. Sometimes they recommend a manager be transferred or fired because he isn't following the rules about how to treat the people he supervises.
