Mother Jones runs a great article on worker co-ops!

As we gear up for fall, here’s an inspiring look at some worker co-ops around the country. Mother Jones just published a piece that’s not only very well researched and written, but also comes with a series of outstanding photos.

We get to hear from worker-owners at…

  • ChiFresh Kitchen in Chicago
  • The Drivers’ Co-op in New York
  • The Local Co-op in Selma
  • Opportunity Threads in western North Carolina
  • A Slice of New York in San Jose
  • The Co-op Service Center in Norwich (VT)
  • plus, Mo Manklang of the US Federation of Worker Co-ops, Jessica Gordon-Nembhardt, best known as the author of Collective Courage, and Emily Kawano of the Wellspring Cooperative Corporation.

Be your own boss!
