Worker Cooperatives

Worker cooperatives are businesses owned and operated by their employees. Unlike traditional companies, where shareholders or a single owner make decisions, in a worker cooperative, all workers have an equal say in the management and direction of the business. Profits are typically shared among the members, which fosters a sense of community and shared responsibility. This model emphasizes collaboration, democracy, and fair labor practices, often leading to better job satisfaction and stability for employees. Ultimately, worker cooperatives aim to empower workers and create a more equitable economy.
