I thought that Carl, in particular, would be interested in this forwarded email
and the article about the worker cooperative being funded on Long Island. Carl
and I are both intrigued with the ideas of Richard Wolff who is a Marxist
economist who writes and talks a great deal about worker cooperatives.

Long Island Progressive Coalition Launches Worker Coop Initiative
Long Island Progressive Coalition is proud to announce that we have launched a
Worker Cooperative Initiative on Long Island. Worker Cooperatives are worker
owned businesses that allow workers to have a voice on their job and profit
from its success. This initiaitve is geared toward building community wealth
by investing in Long Island communities. Businesses owned by local workers
makes sure that wages and profits stay in the local community and jobs stay
here too. We will model our Worker Cooperative support sytem off of successful
initiatives across the United States including partnering with worker
cooperatives in New York City.
We're excited to announce to help launch the Worker Cooperative Initiative we
have received a $50,000 contract from the Babylon IDA. The grant will provide
for resources to assist current business owners in their succession decisions
including the benfits of selling a business to its workers.
Check out Newsday's story on the grant.
