Worker Owned Co-ops: Putting Democracy to Work

28 Mar 2012

At a time when many are disillusioned with big banks and big business, and growing inequity…employee ownership offers a real solution for workers and communities.

Shift Change: Putting Democracy to Work is a new documentary (to be released in July, 2012) that highlights worker-owned enterprises in North America and in Mondragon, Spain. The film couldn’t be more timely, as 2012 has been declared by the United Nations as the "International Year of the Cooperative."
