Workers' Co-operatives

Workers' co-operatives are businesses owned and operated by the employees who work there. Each worker has an equal say in decision-making and shares in the profits, promoting democratic control and fairness. Unlike traditional businesses where ownership and profits go to external owners or shareholders, in a co-op, workers collectively manage the company, prioritize community and employee well-being, and aim for sustainability rather than just profits. This model encourages a cooperative spirit, responsibility, and shared commitment, aligning the interests of workers with the success of their organization.
