Association of Workers' Cooperatives

The Association of Workers' Cooperatives (AWC) is a network supporting worker cooperatives—businesses owned and managed by their employees. In a worker cooperative, every member has a democratic say in decisions, and profits are shared among workers. The AWC provides resources, training, and advocacy to help these cooperatives thrive, promoting economic justice and community empowerment. By fostering collaboration among worker-owned businesses, the AWC aims to create a more equitable economy that prioritizes the well-being of workers rather than solely maximizing profits for external shareholders.
