Industrial Co-operatives

Industrial cooperatives are businesses owned and managed collectively by their workers or members, who share in the profits and decision-making. They function democratically, with each member having an equal say regardless of their role or investment size. These cooperatives aim to promote fair working conditions, equitable distribution of earnings, and community development. Common in sectors like manufacturing, agriculture, and construction, they foster collaboration, reduce exploitation, and strengthen local economies by empowering members to control their work environment and outcomes.
