Congratulation to Bob, Alison and Sion;
For those that don't know, the worker co-operative council is an official committee of Co-operatives UK. It acts as a sounding board for issues affecting worker co-operatives
and in turn nominates two places to the main Co-operatives UK Board of Directors. The Council isn't just a talking shop and either
influences or directly take action on behalf of worker co-operatives.
Here is a link to their most recent strategy plan.
Currently the Council is made up of 7 representatives elected from the worker co-op membership and 2 co-optee's. A co-operative development adviser and a young person who is also a trustee of the Woodcraft Folk.
