Sommario/riassunto

Since the 2008 crisis, all over the world, workers and trade unions responding to the impact of the crisis have turned to cooperatives, particularly worker cooperatives, as a way to preserve jobs and create a different path to economic and social development. This issue reviews select initiatives and examines the state of the relationship between trade unions and worker cooperatives.
