Aight so me and two other good folks are starting a tech workers' cooperative. We've got plenty of stuff against us.
None of us have worked in a workers' cooperative or other kind of democratic workplace before.
There are barely a handful workers' coops in Norway. The national umbrella org for coops in Norway is basically dead and doesn't care about workers' coops at all.
Our coop is geographically distributed evenly along Norway, which means our northernmost worker-member would have to drive 24 hours by car or 44 hours by public transport to reach our southernmost worker-member.

We've put in effort to reduce our weaknesses, and we've got things going for us too.
We've met and continue to meet with other workers' coops to learn from them and collaborate. We've got potential clients and pilot projects. We've got hardware. We've got tech and business know-how. We're working on the formal stuff, bylaws and agreements.

It's going great.

Just wanted to let y'all know it can be done.

If you want to do it too, I recommend joining https://matrix.to/#/%23techcoop:autonomic.zone

"What if salaries are not solely decided by the market but by the people who do the work and by how much they think they’ll need for a living? What if people could change their roles within a team without the fear of earning less or having less say? Would it enable more collaboration instead of just advancing individual career paths?"

Hi everyone

We're a new tech co-op that aims to support people working for social good with compassionate and caring tech support. No more feeling alone, no more getting stuck. That thing that is a total showstopper for you, may be an easy fix for us. We’ll be there for you.

We're currently mostly one person @kawaiipunk who is a founder member of @autonomic (and friends) but we're looking to expand.
