Cooperativas de Trabajo Asociado

Cooperativas de Trabajo Asociado are collective businesses owned and managed by their worker-members, who actively participate in decision-making and share in the profits. Each member contributes labor, and the cooperative operates democratically, typically following the principle of one member—one vote. These cooperatives focus on providing employment and improving working conditions for members, often in sectors like manufacturing, services, or agriculture. They promote solidarity, mutual support, and shared responsibility, aiming to create stable jobs and foster economic participation among workers rather than prioritizing profit for external shareholders.
