I’m in Thailand for a conference starting on Monday. I will prepare my presentation soon. I may include a 101 on #cooperatives and a 101 on #communityscience and relate them back to #solidarityEconomics. If you recommend resources right now, I’ll use them.

Co-ops are part of the North's history and truly are a way to undermine #corporate power and control. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/dechinta-centre-solid-state-collaboration-continues-in-nwt-1.7472108

"REI board blocks labor-backed candidates from ballot"
Members, go vote by May 1! Vote against every candidate. That's the only option they're giving us. Totally undemocratic.

Hello world! #introduction time!
We are workers.coop. We're a federation and network of worker-led cooperatives and supporters, based in the #UK.
This account is a bit of an experiment (by @da5nsy, for now) but the plan is to post information about news and events, and boost cool things related to #WorkerCoops and the wider #cooperative movement.
If you know anyone looking for a rather unique bicycle mechanic job in the Atlanta area, one of my favorite places in the world, Sopo Bicycle Co-op, is hiring a part-time shop coordinator! We've been struggling to stay open consistently for a while, and we're hoping having someone there on set nights will let us sell more bikes, and recruit more volunteers!
Spotify is a shared distribution channel for the handful of corporate music publishers who own the platform. It is, in a sense, a producer co-op.
But producer co-op are, from what I've seen, the least cooperative form of co-op. Fonterra is a one. So is Foodstuffs. Both behave like typical, predatory corporations towards their workers and customers. So does Spotify, with its artists and listeners.
Thanks to someone in the Cooperative Development chatroom I just learned about a new co-op model I've never heard of before: a cooperative work pool!
TL;DR a bike shop and a ski shop could setup a work pool. In the winter when the bike shop doesn't have enough customers, the employees go work for the ski shop where it's the busy season (and during the summer they go back to the bike shop). This would be much better than getting fired every winter!
Could you help us out? If you have any favourite #cooperatives that you support, please share them with us!
We want to know all about the diverse range of worker-owned and member-owned (and all the many other types) of #coops out there. We want to get them on our show and shout about their success.
Dang, 2025 may be the year for two co-op conversions and a new farm work commons-co-op!
Wishing y’all a happy new year! 2025 has been designated the “International Year of Cooperatives” by the UN, with the motto “Cooperatives Build a Better World”—we’ll do our best to live up to that and also to be more active here on Mastodon. A few more days of rest, then back to work next week!

We're in the news again! Read about how Artisans Built a Co-op Alternative to Etsy
One year ago, after joining a strike against Etsy, these artists created their own cooperative online platform for artisans – currently in beta.

@breadandcircuses The good part is that there are #CreditUnions that are incorporated as #Cooperatives and thus are owned by their members and customers!
- In fact, Cooperatives in Germany are the antithesis of a #PublicCorporation as they are by law bound to #sustainability and the interests of their members!
Did you know? According to the IWDC Independent Cooperative, 1 billion people are members of cooperatives worldwide!
