The U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives' Second Conference for Worker Ownership and Workplace Democracy
The conference will offer a mix of workshops on everything from how to start a worker co-op to personnel policies to franchising and growth to the state of the economy and how it affects worker cooperatives. We're also planning a special track of workshops focused on Building Community Wealth, which will explore how we can strengthen worker co-ops, as a community-based model of ownership, to address social and economic inequities. On Sunday, there will be a showing of The Take, the documentary about the worker cooperative movement in Argentina, where workers saved their jobs by taking back idle factories and putting them to work. Filmmaker Avi Lewis will be there to present it and talk about recent developments.
F October 13 - Su October 15; New York
