Share ownership and decisions at work
RIPESS Europe links worker cooperatives, social enterprises, and mutual-aid networks that put solidarity ahead of shareholder profit. Worker co-ops let employees own and steer the business together.
What you can do
- Read the Solidarity Economy in Europe overview and map co-ops near you
- Connect with RIPESS Europe member networks for start-up advice
- Visit a local worker cooperative and ask how they handle hiring, surplus, and one-member-one-vote governance
How it works
Founders draft bylaws for democratic control, equal voice, and shared risk. Sector federations help with legal setup, training, and inter-cooperation so small co-ops can bid for contracts together.
Why it matters
Worker ownership keeps wealth with the people who create it. It opens stable jobs for workers excluded from extractive firms.
