Our vision is to create a community where offices, factories and stores are run democratically. Worker cooperatives are businesses owned and controlled by their workers. Studies show that worker cooperatives tend to pay higher wages, provide better benefits, stay in business longer, and encourage dignified workplaces.

Economic Update is a weekly nationally syndicated radio program produced by Democracy at Work and hosted by Richard D. Wolff.
The program explores complex economic issues and empowers listeners with information to analyze their own financial situation as well as the economy at large. By focusing on the economic dimensions of everyday life — wages, jobs, taxes, debts, and profits — the program explores alternative ways to organize markets and government policies.
