I really like the idea of randomly elected representatives. Sure, they will try to better their situation for afterwards but with enough corruption control (which is probably easier to implement), this will only ensure that they support their kind of workers a bit more than the rest.

At least you don't have people who do politics as a job and no one is incentivised to constantly increase pay for them.

There are studies on the topic of random election https://arxiv.org/abs/1103.1224
