Worker Co-operatives

The Worker Co-Operative study focused on forms of organisation, types of employment, working conditions and industrial relations in co-operatives, collectives or other self-managing structures that seek to be economically viable. It largely concentrated on worker co-operatives rather than agricultural or consumer co-operatives. Specific attention was given to developments in Britain, France and taly but material was gathered from other EEC countries. The project lasted for one year and included a systematic review of existing experience and research in Britain, France and Italy, developing a conceptual framework to interpret and describe this material and identifying appropriate sub-contractors to pursue national studies within an agreed framework.
