Should the janitorial staff have equal says as to the executives in how funds should be allocated?

Given their propensity for allocating the funds to themselves, probably.

Yeah that's not as common as people who have never run or managed a company or budget think.

The reality is your maintenance staff isn't going to have the skill set to make rational judgements outside their expertise.

Lets be realistic here, the reality is that most of the managerial staff including the C suite people don't have the skill set to make rational judgements on the working of the company either.

Oh but they have so much bootstraps! Bootstraps that would be the envy of anyone in the factory floor. They made their own bootstraps if I remember correctly, they learned that in private school for bootstraps!

And then when it gets big enough, all decisions get filtered through C-level, their hangers on, and a roughly "democratic" board. In the sense that multiple people vote on the best course of action, not that they represent the workers.

Oh, look, all of a sudden a diverse array of inputs is providing value. Weird.
