Working Alone Together: Cooperative and Trade Union Solutions for the Gig Economy
Summary
This article discusses the Not Alone report, recently released by Co-operatives UK, Wales Co-operative Centre, and Unity Trust Bank. Cooperators may be especially interested in section 6 which places platform cooperative efforts within a broader context and landscape, and highlights the need to unite past and future innovations in economic democracy. As Pat put it in an email to us, “The report highlights so much [that is] below the radar and not at all joined up well in any of the countries. But if we can raise people’s sights higher, we can tip elections with a real practical programme and achieve much more internationally that is presently impeded so badly.”
