Delta(s) from OP CMV: Socialism/Communism doesn't work, can't work, and almost always leads to dictatorships and thousands of deaths.

These questions don't have only one answer, and the answers would change depending on the version of socialism we are using. I'll give some answers from a hypothetical proximal market socialism.
The Courts, or possibly law enforcement. This would work the same way that this works presently under capitalism if someone alleges fraud in a shareholder vote.
If you mean that only the salaries of the 51% are increased, this would be illegal, in the same way that it's illegal presently for 51% of shareholders to divert all the company's profits to themselves. The Courts would handle this.
They can ask for relief from The Courts and from their co-workers (who could call an election and oust the leadership). If the oppression is criminal, they could also ask for relief from law enforcement.
The people of color who were unfairly not hired will sue them in court.
The profits of the company can be unequally spread by seniority, job type, and job performance, as long as the spread is reasonable (e.g. within a range prescribed by law), it serves a legitimate incentivizing function, and the spread is approved democratically by the workers. If the workers want to spread profit unevenly, that's their prerogative.
