🤝 Social coops care for vulnerable workers: they provide quality and accessible jobs for people who face barriers in the labour market

Europe needs public procurement rules, state aid regimes, and financial instruments that reflect the unique nature of social coops

💻 In platform coops, workers and users own the tech behind the company. Do you think they would ever use an algorithm that undermines workers’ rights, autonomy or dignity?

The EU should reject the idea of opaque and exploitative forms of workers algorithmic management.

Ivana Pais on benefits & risks of algorithmic management and platform coops:
🗣️ As businesses platformize, coops too can benefit from adopting platforms in daily operations

Ben Wray on Negotiating the Algorithm:
🗣️ Algorithmic management is no longer niche, it hands data to bosses to control workers
