Gay Lea Foods Co-operative Limited is owned and controlled by Ontario Dairy Producers. The vast majority of workers in the Western democracies lack even the most elementary voice in decisions that affect the business that employs them. PARTNERS IN ENTER'PRISE The Worker Ownership Phenomenon edited by Jack Quarter and George Melnyk The current interest in new fonns of ownership of the economy stems from a number of sources: from worker buyouts to prevent plant shut- downs to workers' demands for self-expression and democratic con- trol. The inability of established economic organizations to meet even traditional needs has led to the belief that worker ownership is "an idea whose time has come." This book is about a fonn of business - the worker co-operative - in which workers are owners. The essays provide a record of the worker co-operative movement both as it stands at present and historically from the first experiments in the 1860s.

    01 Enhancing the value of milk A vocation for Agropur Each waking day, Agropur cooperative responds to the call of some 4,200 dairy farmers who rely on this organization, which they jointly own, to enhance the fruit of their labour. Over 1.7 billion litres of milk are processed annually in 19 plants, one in the United States and the others in four Canadian provinces. The resulting products grace the tables of thousands of Canadians from coast to coast. But before these products reach their tables, 3,000 employees and many contract agents assigned to milk collection and distribution combine their efforts and expertise to ensure that the final product meets all expectations. OUR PRODUCTS GR EET YOU AT THE CRACK OF DAWN. Tradition and progress co-exist in perfect harmony at Agropur. Their interaction generates amazing results for this Cooperative, which was founded in 1938 and remains rooted in its original values. Its success is, above all, a human story. It is reflected in the quality of services offered and a highly diversified product line, which is in keeping with the latest trends and makes milk, this indispensable resource, ever more enjoyable. Sense of values 02 Nature is our source Closely involved in its members’ activities, Agropur cooperative has made a vocation of enhancing the value of their product, milk.

Charged with generating a return on this asset, thousands of people invest their genius and talents in this major group project, which is reinvented on a daily basis to respond to needs, expectations and market signals.
