Cleveland Owns

Always good to be alongside OEOC!

Labor unions and cooperatives are two strategies that working people have used to build power and fight for what they and their communities need.

Can these two formations work together?
Why would a co-op need a union?
What does a labor union gain from cooperative ownership?
What can we learn from those who are already living this model?
And how can we use it to strengthen labor unions and the cooperative movement here in Cleveland?

On Tuesday May 26th, join the Northeast Ohio Worker Center and Co-op Circles where we explore these questions and more!

RSVP at the link in bio!

Where: Forest City Brewery - 2135 Columbus Rd, Cleveland, OH 44113
