MODERATORS
This is great news and has potential to shift perceptions and introduce the concept to a broader audience. However, quick reminder that a worker coop that is not connected to a broader movement to overcome capitalism at its root is still beholden to market dynamics (actually, it will always be that to some extent) and in the worst case can even fuel self-identification of people with their role as an exchange-value-producer.
Coops are definitely a good first step. They also help you feel not as exploited.
Coops do more for communities and are better in general.
