The new worker co-op was recognized at a February event at the Madison Labor Temple. MCDC is a collaborative of co-op developers, unions, and community organizations &#8211; including UWCC &#8211; implementing the City of Madison\u2019s initiative to strengthen the local worker co-op ecosystem. At the event, MCDC also welcomed Dennis Olson of the Cincinnati Union Co-op Initiative (CUCI) and UFCW International, as well as the local UFCW (1473) that Common Good Bookkeeping Cooperative unionized with. Many people from the Madison co-op and labor communities also joined.<\/p>\n<p>This is just the first of many MCDC events \u2013 keep an eye on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwcc.wisc.edu\/\">UWCC website<\/a> for events to come. Future events will provide education on worker co-ops, the City of Madison\u2019s Co-op Initiative, and will bring our community together to address Madison\u2019s racial and income inequalities through living wage jobs and democratic workplaces.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a service provider, worker-cooperator, or a community organization, we want to work with you! This initiative provides and funds technical assistance to worker co-ops and can connect them to start-up financing.
