CO-OPERATIVES AND EMPOWERING WORKERS

John Stuart Mill and Jo Grimond were big supporters of co-operatives and Liberals have always supported workers’ rights. Today there is a big power gap between executives and their employees, furthermore there are few mutuals on the high street. Co-operatives are needed to tackle inequalities in power and to ensure a fairer share of profits throughout their companies. What do you think should be done to promote co-operatives and to empower workers in their workplaces?
