What is a worker cooperative?

There are many kinds of cooperatives, such as credit unions and co-op markets. But unlike other consumer-owned cooperatives, a worker co-op is a business owned by the people doing the work.

A worker cooperative (or co-op) is a type of business that puts worker wellbeing and community benefit at the core of its purpose.
