These kind of events organized by USFWC are a great place to ask more details about how to get started building a worker co-operative https://info.usworker.coop/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=672
Policies that result in the median voter paying more #taxes are difficult. The #democrats need a #policy vision that doesn't raise taxes on the median #voter
Policy ideas
- Tax exemptions/deductions for #WorkerCooperatives and investment in worker #coops
- Special tax exempt status for #WorkerCoops
- Use corporate tax revenue to buy some shares of that company and put those in a trust democratically governed by workers in that company.
Congratulations to #Mirlo co-founder @arod who'll be teaching A History of Jazz, American Popular Music, Introduction to Electronic and Computer Music, and Interactive Sound Art with Electronics next year at Wellesley College! Read more about his updates below.
I'm curious. Would it be possible for a union to push a company far enough that they could force the owners to sell the company to them, forming a worker cooperative? I'm doubtful they have enough leverage, but it would be awesome to see something like this go down.
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.
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 everyone! A brief #introduction from our #NonProfit #WorkerCoop of #PublicSchool #educators:
We created Get It Right in the fall of 2020, to staff a new secondary school that needed a democratic collective to run it (check out milestonedemocratic.org). We are in our third school year, showing up every day to demonstrate that #TeacherPowered schools, where educators make decisions by consensus and share governance with students and families, can create equity and justice.
Let's connect!
Re-#introduction!
I joined Masto in 2016, and was involved with the core group that, inspired by the #platformcoop mvmnt and the #BuyTwitter campaign, launched the #SocialCoop instance in 2017.
I live in #btv #Vermont, work as ED of @veoc supporting the growth of #workercoop and #ESOP models of #EmployeeOwnership, and am involved in a bunch of #coops. Other interests:
