there are many things that only those with certain education should have a say.

The rich are not smarter than us!

asking for more pay lol, but that has nothing to do with democracy

Getting more pay often requires democratic actions. Striking, unionizing. Unions democratize a workplace by providing leverage behind workers concerns.

there are very harsh laws if companies get reported not following safety measures.

You must not be American. From an American perspective, employers are basically lawless.

The eventual theoretical climax being siezing the means of production. Then there is no longer an owner or board of shareholders with structural heirarchical control over what is made, who makes it, and how much they are paid.
