Democratic Workers' Cooperative

A Democratic Workers' Cooperative is a business owned and operated by its workers, where each employee has an equal say in decision-making processes. Instead of being run for profit by external shareholders, the cooperative's profits are shared among the workers, and they collaborate to set policies and directions for the business. This model promotes fairness, accountability, and community involvement, allowing workers to have a direct stake in their work environment and outcomes. It's a way to balance the interests of labor with economic productivity, fostering both democracy and sustainability in the workplace.
