"The proven power of collaboration between unions and worker co-ops has guided Co-op Cincy since its founding in 2011. Dedicated to building and supporting Greater Cincinnati’s growing network of worker-owned businesses, their work is inspired by the business model of Mondragon International, the world’s largest federation of worker cooperatives."

"Will ICE Ignite a Mass Strike in Minnesota?"
"“We are not going to shop. We are not going to work. We are not going to school on Friday, January 23. For some people they call that a strike.. For many of us, this is our right to refusal until something changes.”"

"The hospitals have signaled a greater willingness to dig in and fend off the nurses’ demands, which they have characterized as out of touch. And they don’t seem worried about escalating a fight with the nurses, who are generally more trusted and held in higher regard than members of just about any other profession."

Yesterday I watched #TheTake , a documentary by #NaomiKlein and #AviLewis about the cooperative movement in Argentina, released in 2004.
In the beginning of the 21st century, workers across #Argentina took over control over factories, and began to run them by themselves.
Many of these cooperatives still exist.
This documentary can be a source of hope. We need it.

[Venezuela flag icon] : @ituc and @CSA_TUCA strongly
condemn the US military aggression against
Venezuela and the violation of its sovereignty.
We call for respect for the Venezuelan people’s
right to self-determination, the immediate
release of all those detained, and a return to
peaceful and democratic dialogue.
Peace and international law must prevail.

We join the international labor community in condemning President Trump's unconstitutional acts in Venezuela.](https://media.expressional.social/media_attachments/files/115/834/831/099/350/342/original/fd4fa9a7cb238c91.png)
