The Worker Cooperative Development initiative

The Worker Cooperative Development initiative promotes the creation and growth of businesses owned and managed by their employees. Instead of traditional company structures where owners make decisions, workers share ownership, profits, and responsibilities. This approach encourages fair wages, democratic decision-making, and strong community ties. The initiative provides resources, training, and support to help workers establish and sustain cooperatives, fostering economic stability and empowering workers. Overall, it aims to build resilient, equitable businesses that benefit both employees and communities.
