Union Cooperatives

A union cooperative is a worker-owned business where employees collectively own, manage, and make decisions about the company. Unlike traditional businesses driven by profit for owners or shareholders, union cooperatives prioritize fair working conditions, shared profits, and democratic control, often within a union framework. This structure empowers workers to have a voice, ensure equitable distribution of benefits, and foster a collaborative environment that aligns the company's success with employees' well-being. Essentially, it combines the principles of a cooperative—worker ownership and control—with union ideals of solidarity and collective power.
