Advancing social justice, promoting decent work ILO is a specialized agency of the United Nations The COVID-19 outbreak update from Legacoop, Italy This update provide insights on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Italian cooperative enterprises, and measures being taken by them to support workers, members/customers, and people in their communities affected by the crisis. News | 27 March 2020 "We are women and men cooperators who are present right alongside the doctors and nurses, keeping hospitals clean, operating in supermarkets, offices, warehouses, kitchens and thermal power plants. We are the ones working in social cooperatives to keep assistance alive for populations that were already vulnerable before the pandemic and are even more so after.” - Mauro Lusetti, President, Legacoop The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted life dramatically in Italy. On 25 March there were 74,386 confirmed cases with 7,503 deaths and 9,362 recoveries. The stringent measures adopted by the Italian Government, needed to slow down and contain the virus, have had seriously detrimental consequences for enterprises in the country. Regarding cooperative enterprises, if the emergency situation and the measures around the coronavirus pandemic continue for a longer period, it is expected that workers at risk could reach at least 265,000. This estimate is based on the number of workers and worker members in cooperatives in a number of key sectors, including: Social cooperatives pointed out that 200,000 workers could be at risk only in their sector, as they are precluded from carrying out activities of general interest, such as taking care of elderly and disabled people due to the closure of day centres, or interruption of home care, as well as 1 sur 4 17/04/2020 à 10:43 The COVID-19 outbreak update from Legacoop, Italy https://www.ilo.org/global/topics/cooperatives/news/WCMS_7399..

  • For All the People
    Praise for For All the People John Curl has been around the block when it comes to knowing work- ers’ cooperatives. He has been a worker owner. He has argued theory and practice, inside the firms where his labor counts for something more than token control and within the determined, but still small uni- verse where labor rents capital, using it as it sees fit and profitable. So his book, For All the People: The Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America, reached expectant hands, and an open mind when it arrived in Asheville, NC. Am I disappointed? No, not in the least. Curl blends the three strands of his historical narrative with aplomb, he has, after all, been researching, writing, revising, and editing the text for a spell. Further, I am certain he has been responding to editors and publishers asking this or that. He may have tired, but he did not give up, much inspired, I am certain, by the determination of the women and men he brings to life. Each of his subtitles could have been a book, and has been written about by authors with as many points of ideological view as their titles. Curl sticks pretty close to the narrative line written by worker own- ers, no matter if they came to work every day with a socialist, laborist, anti-Marxist grudge or not. Often in the past, as with today’s worker owners, their firm fails, a dream to manage capital kaput. Yet today, as yesterday, the democratic ideals of hundreds of worker owners support vibrantly profitable businesses.

  • Combatting Inequality Through Employee Ownership
    COMBATTING INEQUALITY THROUGH EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP Worker Cooperatives and Employee Stock Ownership Programs in Buffalo-Niagara Kristin Ksiazek and Annabel Bacon Introduction Communities across the United States are grappling with income inequality. Since 1979, earnings of the top one percent of Americans have risen by a staggering 157%, compared to an increase of just 22.2% for the bottom 90% of workers.1 Today, 44 percent of American workers earn less than $18,000 per year, while the CEOs of the largest 350 companies earn, on average, $18.9 million per year.2 From 1978 to 2018, compensation for CEOs grew 940.3%, but wages for typical, nonsupervisory workers grew by just 11.9%.3 Wealth gaps between the most privileged and marginalized social and demographic groups have widened by even larger amounts—to the point where, in 2015, for every dollar in wealth owned by white households, black and Latinx households held just six and eight cents, respectively; and women owned only 32 cents for every dollar held by men.4 Equally as troubling, present generations are far less likely than their parents and grandparents to experience upward economic mobility,5 and they are burdened by much more student debt.6 Job seekers of all educational backgrounds are faced with fewer choices in the American labor market, where much of the recent job growth has come in the form of low-wage work.7 This trend means that low income workers do not have the option to simply “find better paying jobs.” Rather, the data show that “there are not enough living wage jobs to go around.”8 The lack of living-wage jobs disproportionately affects women and workers of color.
