"At their core, #WorkerCoops are democratic institutions: businesses owned and governed by their workers, who share both risks and rewards. They offer a model of economic self-determination—rooted in values of equity, solidarity, and accountability." 🌲🌲

Over the past decade, the number of worker-owned #coops has more than tripled. Most owners are women; nearly half are people of color. They prioritize keeping employees during economic slumps. The highest earners make ~1.5x more than the lowest (typical US CEO earns 344x). (source: @usworker.coop)

Tech worker co-ops aren't (yet!) that common in the US, and we get a lot of requests from researchers to do interviews or surveys, so we finally decided to just interview ourselves and share. Cc @usworker.coop

"Co-ops are a rare and vital form of infrastructure: something we can build today, without waiting on policy change, that shapes the future and prefigures the world activists want while meeting community economic needs today." 🔥🔥
