GEO Live 17-Worker Co-op Governance Report

Jim Johnson and John McNamara, two of the co-founders of the Democracy At Work Network (DAWN), joined our monthly livestream to share the history of this worker co-op peer support network that was conceived, built, and run by worker-owners across the US. DAWN provided training for worker-owners to become peer-advisors and help shepherd fledgling worker co-ops into existence. Despite its successful operation and low-overhead, the USFWC decided to abruptly end funding for the group in 2018. Jim and John walk us through the details of how DAWN functioned in its heyday, and some of the lessons they took away from both its successes and its eventual shuttering.
