Shift Change: How Worker Owned Co-ops Can Produce a More Just Economy

1 Jul 2014

At a time when many people are disillusioned with big banks and big business, and growing inequity, employee ownership offers a real solution for workers and communities. Shift Change is a new documentary that features worker-owned enterprises in North America and Mondragon, Spain. Through on-camera interviews and visits to the factory floor, filmmakers Mark Dworkin and Melissa Young capture the spirit of diverse cooperatives - bakeries, fair trade coffee and chocolate wholesalers, solar-power ventures and engineering firms to demonstrate positive models and alternatives. Watch a preview of the documentary.
