Hey, so my husband got his lay-off notice today. He was the brewer at Mendocino Brewing Company.
Do any of you socialists know how to put together a worker's coop? Because it is absolutely ridiculous that the brewery is standing on one side of a locked door, and everyone who knows how to brew and bottle beer is on the other.
@jannamark Why not start here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Creative-Company-Became-Agency-Agencies/dp/0471350265? Great inspiration for me and my laid off advertising friends back in the day.
Also you should probably get in touch with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Cooperative_Business_Association
Good luck!
@jannamark (I take it you’re in the US, yes?)
@thelovebing Yes. With all that entails.
@jannamark oh, and a word of unsolicited advice: Bring someone with a sense of business. A co-op that’s not profitable wont last long.
