Mondragon in NyTimes and official promotional video
http://permaculture.tv/?p=1273



A NY Times blog post about Mondragon Coopeartive and the United Steelworkers
in the USA

and also a new official promotional/corporate video - slick voice-over and
everything


*Workers of the World, Incorporate*

*Nancy
Folbre<http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/11/business/economy/Folbre.ready.html>
is
an economics professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.*

On Oct. 27, the United Steelworkers announced an agreement
<http://assets.usw.org/Releases/agree_usw_mondragon.pdf>with
Mondragon International to move toward establishment of manufacturing
cooperatives in the United States and Canada.

Maybe this agreement represents a symbolic gesture that will not generate
any significant economic benefits. Maybe it represents a step in the
evolution of a new institutional form for the modern manufacturing firm.

It certainly represents a new direction <http://www.fguide.org/?p=234> for
the American labor movement.
