Thanks to @anaulin and @internetross for co-facilitating a conversation with the internal folks who facilitated the #unionization efforts at Exygy, a #Software#Consultancy.

We may publish some notes on the zinc.coop website; but my take-aways were:

- One on Ones are S-Tier Skill
- Work with the CWA! They know their shit!
- Take the time to build the Super Majority!
- Stay Positive
- Develop your understanding of Solidarity (Rec for #OnSolidarity by #HaymarketBooks - https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2252-on-solidarity)

If you have recommendations for further conversations re: Organizing and Mobilizing towards Justice in Software Organizations, please send them my way!

"Nu neoliberalisme als ideologie failliet gaat, daagt voor de coöperatie de wederopstanding. Een eigentijds verlangen naar redelijkheid, groen, zeggenschap, solidariteit en bestaanszekerheid brengt burgers samen."

Marcia Luyten in haar Volkskrant artikel "Samen een vuist maken tegen roofzuchtig kapitalisme: het kan, bewijzen de coöperaties"

And in #GoodNews ...

I'm reading a poster about a coffee-growing cooperative in Columbia called ANEI, run by and for indigenous peoples of the growing areas. They grow their crops inside a UNESCO-recognised reserve, using traditional and contemporary organic methods. Their work is helping to fund universal education for their child.

Text printed on Tea Towel As a co-op we follow the Seven Co-operative Principles A co-op is a group of people that gets together to organise collectively for their mutual benefit. Work, housing, services, pubs and social centres can all be co-operatively owned and managed. Homes without landlords. Work without bosses. Society without exploitation. Co-operatives are based on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. In the tradition of their founders, co-operative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, social responsibility, openness and caring for others. 1. Coop membership is open and voluntary. 2. Co-ops are controlled only by their members, who each have equal control. 3. All members have a fair stake in the co-op. Investment does not give control and gives only a small return. 4. Co-ops are autonomous and independent self-help organisations. 5. We educate and train members so they can contribute to the co-op. We also inform the public about the benefits of co-operation. 6. Co-operation among co-ops benefits members and the wider co-op movement. 7. We act with concern for the wider community.
