Power
The activities of the Cooperative will not be driven by a boss, Executive
Director, or even by the Board of Directors. The activities will be spread
among small groups of workers who will be in the driver’s seat of the
Cooperative’s activities. This is how we build worker power. The role of
the Board and non-food service employees of the Cooperative is not to
hold power, but rather to spread power to food service workers.
Unified Owners elect ⅗ directors
