"Aurora Coop, considered the largest meat cooperative in Brazil, estimates it would need to hire an additional 11,000 workers on top of the current 51,000 just to produce slightly less than today, should Congress approve the end of the 6×1 schedule and the reduction of the workweek to 40 hours...Surveys cited by union entities, such as the Unified Workers’ Central, indicate that more than 70% of Brazilians are in favor of ending the 6×1 schedule."

What Kerala’s Member-Owned Institutions Can Teach the World about Social Economics

"Informal MOIs, known as sanghas (collectives), along with mutual aid and self-help groups, have been at the core of women’s liberation across caste and class, with innovations such as rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs) known as panapayattu or kuri. We argue that localized membership institutions, especially informal MOIs, are at the root of the social and solidarity economy (SSE)—as the Kerala case shows."

Hey @limeleaf 👋 We had the idea of creating a starterpack for tech co-ops but you already did it. Great! :) Seems like the focus was to have personal accounts in there. Would you be open to add all the organizational accounts currently floating around? Or is there even the possibility to collaborate somehow on the list? Otherwise we could collectively collect them all in answers to this post.

I read lots of books on #coops, so I thought I would start writing short reviews of them for co-oppy people on #Bookwyrm. First up is this interesting book called Worker Cooperatives and Deep Democracy by Williams and Satgar. Its well worth a read.
