Tonight I attended this class on #WorkerOwned #Cooperatives here's a photo of the whiteboard where everyone put up their thoughts on cooperatives, why we're focused on building them, and what we want from them.

Today we discussed Finance everything from CDFI’s, credit unions, Bank of North Dakota, Class A & B Stock, Seed commons, and a bunch of stuff in-between.

I have a @sociology #research question (maybe for those also in #LaborStudies):

Many studies have shown the positive economic (also political & social) benefit that #unions (across countries & union types) have had for their members.

But, has research focused on whether the density of union membership in particular areas/locales improves economic conditions for ALL workers (regardless of union membership), or upon inequality/Gini? Perhaps somehow influencing prevailing wages?
