Co-ops and Unions

REGISTER FOR: Co-ops and Unions

Co-ops and unions value worker rights, democratic processes, and fair wages. Explore examples from thriving union co-ops to learn how workers can leverage union organizing to buy a business and achieve long-term stability.

In this session, led by Drew De Los Santos, Executive Director of the Austin Cooperative Business Association, participants will learn how to use the cooperative principles and business model to invigorate the cooperative labor movement.

The class will include:
