(recorded August 2009) Host Deyanira Del Rio talks with Center for Family Life's Cooperative Coordinator, Vanessa Bransburg, Urban Justice Center's staff attorney, Gowri Krishna, and Restaurant Opportunities Center of NY's Co-Director, Sekou Siby on worker cooperatives in NYC.
We NEED people promoting Cooperatives at the Union Level and promoting them on Wall Street right now. That pay check you get isn't money given to you, it's a cut of what's been stolen from you.
Unions, we can pool our money, open our own shops and stores, form coalitions and support eachother's growth and development, we can compete at the socioeconomic level. There are obstacles, but together we can overcome them. Don't ask the king for better treatment and more bread, you produce the grain.
