Nearest comparison is a Building Society like the Nationwide. But anyway they are all members co-operatives, not workers co-operatives.
As a customer of the Nationwide, you own part of the organisation. As a customer of Waitrose you don't.
As an employee of the Nationwide, you don't own part of the organisation. As an employee of Waitrose you do.
The CO- OP bank is or was part of the Britainia Building society so as the members own the building socety they have a share in the CO OP bank do they not??
