Matt NoyesFinished the first draft of my translation of Chapter 13 -- Building a movement for cooperative integration -- of Cooperative Enterprise and Market Economy, by @luisrazeto Can't wait to revise it and see the arguments and insights gain clarity and power in English. The argument should have important implications for bodies like the #USFWC or #RIPESS, local grassroots networks, and also industry or geography based networks or councils.

Pretty happy with how our USFWC 20th Anniversary issue is shaping up.

Good statement from #USFWC officials: http://unioncoops.org/
"If the worker cooperative community is used as a tool to leverage against traditional collective bargaining strategies, it hurts both the labor movement and worker co-ops. The worker co-op movement is not and must not be antagonistic to labor unions."
I wish it had stressed democracy and workers power -- an important potential source of solidarity between unions and co-ops.
JohnnyMac π²π²Really inspiring to see how much @USFWC has grown during the Annual Meeting. Great for worker co-op, great for our communities, and a hope for the future of the US! #coopmonth #usfwc #workercoops
