The only grassroots membership organization for worker cooperatives and democratic workplaces

As a grassroots member-led movement, our membership is our power and our strength.

The USFWC welcomes membership from worker cooperatives, other democratic workplaces, cooperative developers, and allied organizations.

 

WHAT WE DO
Technical Assistance

The USFWC Co-op Clinic has a network of peer advisors, all with strong social and professional ties, who provide technical assistance services to worker cooperatives and democratic workplaces.
Advocacy

The USFWC represents the interests of worker cooperatives with federal agencies and elected officials. In addition, our staff and Board support national, state, and local advocacy initiatives.
Health

Healthcare is a human right. The USFWC explores ways to effect systematic change for small businesses everywhere, while also offering a robust Worker Benefits program to provide more affordable health benefits to our members.
Education and Engagement

The USFWC provides education about the worker co-ops and convenes cooperators through our Member Councils and Peer Networks.
