We, the members of the Valley Alliance of Worker Co-operatives, are dedicated to building a sustainable local economy by facilitating the support, development and promotion of worker cooperatives in Western Massachusetts and Southern Vermont. VAWC is a ‘secondary co-operative’ owned and operated by our Member Co-operatives.
Higher levels of worker engagement and more effective decision-making are achieved through worker membership because the distinctively democratic structures fostered by co-operatives enable individual participation to result in real influence within the enterprise through democratically legitimised authority.
