:TwinPines: Collective Copies, a Massachusetts #WorkerCoop turned 40 years old this year! Here's one story of inter-cooperation they were involved in a couple of years ago:

:TwinPines: This interview by @ntnsndr is kind of wild. You don't have 2 do much reading between the lines 2 see that this project had some big issues from the jump. And the difference between the worker's attitude (we're scared for the future) & the lawyer's attitude (we're proud of what we accomplished) demonstrates pretty well one of my big problems w/ #WorkerCoop development - the real risk is all on the workers, not the developers who come out fine no matter what.

Mutual Aid?

How 'bout supporting San Francisco brewery workers at the bankrupt Anchor Brewery attempting to buy it from the evil Sapporo Corporation and run it as a worker co-op?

Anchor is the oldest craft brewery in the U.S., in operation since the 1800s.

:TwinPines: The Arizmendi bakeries have spun-off another #WorkerCoop business (or are about to), but this one is happening in a little different way than normal.

Nick’s Pizza and Bakery is becoming a worker-owned collective

For the founder of Nick’s, an Arizmendi alumnus, spinning the shop off into a co-op was always in the back of his mind.

Was wondering about lists of worker cooperatives so went looking. The United States Federation of Worker Cooperatives has a list by location, but I imagine there are a lot that aren't listed, because I believe they only list members.

This looks like a good introductory series for the basics of starting a #WorkerCoop from the Canadian Worker Co-op Federation.

Ever thought it would be nice to be part of something non-hierarchical with democratic decision making?

In 2021, the Turner Family Community Enterprise Clinic completed Tennessee’s first conversion of a conventional business into a worker-owned cooperative. Since that time, cooperatives have become a growing part of Tennessee’s business landscape and the Clinic’s community engagement.

Great profile of Rich City Rides #WorkerCoop 🚲 :TwinPines:

One of the things they did not teach us in Worker Cooperative School is how legally complicated organizing a company is.

As a startup, the last thing I want to do is waste a bunch of limited money on complex contracts.

I’m gonna talk about it. (I’m not seeking advice; I’m sharing my experience.)

#introductions

We're so excited to have joined social.coop and the fediverse.

SSG is a #workercoop that helps decision-makers create decarbonized, equitable and healthy communities.

We do this using rigorous technical analysis and meaningful community engagement.

We are structured as a worker cooperative so that we can be accountable to our member-owners, rather than shareholders, enabling us to focus on addressing social and environmental issues above profits.

Hi, I want to do a quick/informal survey tech development worker coops.
