Miners’ cooperatives

Miners’ cooperatives are organizations formed by groups of miners who pool their resources, skills, and profits to work collectively. This collaborative approach allows members to share costs, reduce individual risks, and access better equipment or markets they might not afford alone. By operating as a cooperative, miners have more control over their work conditions and earnings, fostering a sense of community and mutual support. These cooperatives can improve miners’ livelihoods by increasing bargaining power and ensuring fair distribution of profits, promoting sustainable and equitable mining practices.
