@LeoSammallahti writes about The Staffing Coop (now part of Obran) at #CoopExchange: https://coop.exchange/blog/98aae6de-f8e5-11e9-a6c8-06ceb0bf34bd/we-need-more-worker-owned-staffing-agencies

Hive-mind: are there other examples of or literature about cooperatively owned/run staffing agencies?
Links/suggestions welcomed!

I'm particularly interested in food and ag sector applications, where there are major labor issues a coop approach could be quite helpful in addressing.

In South Korea around 2000 cooperatives are launched every year.

By comparison, Germany and the UK saw 187 and 150 new cooperatives launched in 2019.

We are witnessing a silent yet revolutionary shift in one of the most vibrant economies in the world.

Recently the .org domain was almost sold to a private equity firm.

Internet heavyweights, like the head of Wikimedia, fought to have the domain owned as a #platformcoop instead.

They blocked the sale and now plan to democratise large parts of the internet.
