Aquesta reflexió es fa al documental de la cooperativa Som Energia per celebrar els 15 anys.

▶️ Workers cooperatives explained
In a worker cooperative, members share interest in the work wich is provided by or ensured through the cooperative.
The members are individual workers (worker-members) whose jobs are directly assured through the cooperative.
A worker cooperative aims to offer its members decent working conditions and income.
Just had a one hour interview that turned into two hours with @ecosentido . We talked about solidarity economy; cooperatives; the work of @luisrazeto Euclides Mance, Pablo Guerra; FairTrade in a colonial context, and more...
We will publish it in @GEO_Collective in the journal and/or website, so stay tuned.
