How is it that no company has union busted by handing out shares of the business to their workers?

Bob's Red Mill did something of the sort and is 100% employee-owned as of 2020. The stated intent was to avoid the investor-driven abuse of employees and customers for profit. It's not a workers' co-op, to be clear, but runs under an ESOP.

Kroger did that as a way to defeat a hostile takeover
