Cooperatives Give Workers Aggregate Power - All Things Co-op [CLIP]

"ROB: There's an existing structure and a ton of money that could be leveraged if we just got the workforce development system to know that they even have this power... 

 KEVIN: What we're talking about too is not some major revolutionary change right we're just talking about reorienting a a bureaucracy towards a very viable economic prospect.. What do you think is the main inhibitor to this this kind of thing happening?... 

 BROWN: I don't know about inhibition. I think it's about power. It's about being taught to believe that your political power is just to be able to go and vote and then go back away and ignore what's going on, and that you actually have no  economic power... 

That's the beauty of cooperatives because... you're amassing power in the economy by bringing more and more individuals together who by themselves had little or no power all of a sudden they have some economic power." 

 ~~~~~~ This clip comes from All Things Co-op Season 3, Episode 3, "Interview with Cooperative Development Institute." With guest Rob Brown, the Director of Cooperative Development Institute’s Business Ownership Solutions program, Kevin, Cinar, and Larry discuss the motivations for cooperative conversions, the practicalities of co-op conversions and what they do for communities, some realities of Main Street Employment Act, how the right of first refusal works for housing cooperatives versus business cooperatives, the existing but rarely used systems within the Workforce and Innovation Opportunity Act that could support cooperative conversions and more.
