The Worker Cooperative Movement

The Worker Cooperative Movement consists of businesses owned and managed democratically by their employees. In these cooperatives, workers are also owners, meaning they share decision-making, profits, and responsibilities. This model fosters a more equitable workplace, encourages collaborative decision-making, and aims to balance profit with social benefits. The movement promotes economic democracy by empowering workers, supporting local economies, and prioritizing community well-being alongside business success. It offers an alternative to traditional top-down corporate structures, emphasizing shared ownership and collective effort to create more inclusive and sustainable workplaces.
