    No you are misunderstanding the roles of labor and capital. If I withhold my labor, then the owners have nothing to sell. If they withhold pay to me, I go to another company with my labor. Capital cannot create value, only labor can.

      You can go to another company, but they too wouldn’t exist if they didn’t make money.
