Our Member Councils and Peer Networks are shaping the future of the worker co-op movement in the U.S. through offers and needs markets, collective education & learning and political advocacy for a worker-centered economy. Here are the highlights for this month from some of our Councils & Networks:
New year, new me…eting times! See below for the schedule of recurring Member Council and Peer Network meetings.
- The Policy and Advocacy Council is switching to one 90 minute meeting per month, at 2pm ET / 1pm CT / 12pm MT / 11am PT on the first Thursday of the month.
- The Union Co-ops Council will continue meeting at 1pm ET / 12pm CT / 11am MT / 10am PT on the 2nd Friday on even months. At the February call, we’ll hear from Glitter Bean Cafe, a queer-centric unionized worker co-op in Halifax that arose as an alternative to working in an unfair work environment under private ownership.
