Abstract: Workplace democracy is brought up for discussion by the modern project and the postmodern condition. The modern project is represented by three fictitious eye-witnesses, who all seem to have succumbed to a modern repressive tolerance. Only one 'postmodern eye-witness' protests against the description of the democratic condition and challenges the three modernists by emphasizing the necessity of paradoxes and ruptures to acquire liberty. One facet of the liberating dialogue suggested by the postmodernist is to deconstruct the social system through divorce.
