Just about the time you have the towel wadded up and ready to throw it
in, a bright light shines in the East. Richard D. Wolff has mentioned
the organization of co-ops, as well as having been featured on the
Bioneers Program. There are some real positive features to worker
owned companies. Does anyone know first hand information about such a
business?

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.
