Co-operative Union

A Co-operative Union is an organization that represents and supports a network of co-operative societies, which are businesses owned and operated by their members for mutual benefit. These unions help co-ops collaborate, share resources, and advocate for their interests. They promote best practices, provide training, and facilitate access to markets and funding. By working together, co-operative unions strengthen local economies, enhance member participation, and contribute to community development, ensuring that the principles of cooperation, mutual aid, and democratic control are upheld within the co-operative movement.
