To make the transition to Bluesky easier for co-ops, we've put together a Bluesky UK worker co-op Starter Pack here: buff.ly/4gRbdgM ✨
(If you'd like to be added, message us!)

Our 100 or so members range from micro enterprises to social co-operatives with hundreds of members.

Our members are democratic worker-owned businesses, and multi-stakeholder co-operatives where workers have significant control, and the individual worker members who make it all happen.

We're now on Bluesky! Welcome to workers.coop, the UK based federation of worker-led cooperatives.

Worker cooperatives enable workers to unite and collectively advance their economic, social, and cultural interests.
