When they bring nothing but unskilled labor to the table, how much do you feel they are entitled to? 50%? I would call that a partner and expect them to bring their own tools and skills. That is not the situation described here. So, how much should they receive?

50% would probably be fair. Remember that he'd be keeping 50% _per employee_, which means he still makes 10x compared to them.
