Right, workers build the world. We should run it. Actually. Why does management get to tell us what to do without elections?

Workers are necessary but not sufficient for most businesses. You also need capital. This can be provided by the workers and is for many worker owners businesses, but when the business is very capital intensive that's just not feasible.

Are workers going to be able to fund Apple's factories or ExxonMobil's oil exploration? No, so they're not in charge.

You absolutely can start a worker owned business right now, or go work for one.
