A Glimpse Into New York’s Cooperative Ecosystem
"In the Hudson Valley, we visited the workspace and showroom of Found and Fixed, a worker-owned cooperative that reclaims and repairs wooden furniture. We saw and listened to the behind the scenes of running their business. One of the challenges they shared was retaining members due to the physical strain and low margins. This hasn’t deterred them from their mission of diverting furniture from the landfill, they will be working with a reuse center to discern what furniture can be upcycled and refurbished on a larger scale."

The dream of a Latino textile cooperative in western North Carolina
Within the framework of the Universidad Popular by Poder Emma, an industrial sewing workshop is underway. For now, they offer free classes in Spanish to the local Latino community. In the future, they plan to turn the space into a worker-owned textile cooperative that elevates the sewing trade and creates dignified jobs for the community.

@celesteh I’m sure I’ve seen stuff in cooperative resources but brain fog is stopping me remembering, so I'm not as useful as I'd hope… Worth having a look at https://www.uk.coop/support-your-co-operative/governance-advice-and-support though there’s a lot to plough through. People Support might have some good resources too. https://peoplesupport.coop/ and paging #cooperatives #coops #WorkerCoops
And of course there’s Michael Young’s “I said DON’T build the torment nexus, you fools” piece https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2001/jun/29/comment
Anyone have recommendations for non-SaaS/cloud software for accounting, specifically payroll and invoicing? Super big bonus if it is geared toward/has an extension for worker co-ops.
My day job is now recruiting a Data Analyst for a 12 month contract (remote, but UK only).
We're a worker co-operative of ~20 people working on data infrastructure/standards for social good.
This position is mostly helping us provide the support and technical knowhow that keeps the IATI Standard (about international aid projects) running.
https://opendataservices.coop/careers/data-analyst/ until 26th April 6pm.
(Sorry to post 2 within a month, it's just how timings worked out).
Members of four #WorkerCoops in the creative industries talk about their co-ops at the 2026 BRIC Summit.
