South Brum Co-op Meet up
Join us at Artefact Cafe for an evening of meeting people involved in co-operatives in Stirchley and South Birmingham. Building on our last meeting in November which was well attended and had lots of energy this meeting will hopefully look at how we can increase the profile of co-operatives in the area, work out how existing co-ops can work together closer and how established co-ops can support the creation of new enterprises.
Worker co-operatives are a way of running our own work, without bosses. They follow some basics principles which allow for democracy in the workplace, collective ownership and allow workers to be actively involved in their jobs. We've seen a few of them started in Stirchley in recent years but see no reason that there shouldn't be more. There'll likely be people who are involved in other sorts of co-operatives too - housing co-operatives and consumer co-ops.
