Bernie Sanders Proposes To Boost Worker-Ownership Of Companies

Bernie Sanders Proposes To Boost Worker-Ownership Of Companies

"Worker co-ops are businesses owned and operated by the people who work at the company. Instead of squeezing and draining the company, workers, customers and surrounding communities to provide an increasing return for investors, worker-owned companies have an incentive to be responsible, obviously to pay good wages, to respect surrounding communities and the environment (where the workers/owners live) and to make the business a viable long-term operation."
