Worker-Owned Cooperative Business Incubator
We support workers in gaining greater control over their work through the development of worker-owned cooperatives. By helping workers build cooperatives in industries where they often face low wages and limited workplace power, we demonstrate that businesses can be structured around shared ownership, economic opportunity, dignity, and long-term sustainability.
Ending Wage Theft
Our goal is to significantly reduce wage theft in Rhode Island through targeted action focused on strengthening workplace practices, increasing accountability across industries, addressing subcontracting practices that can contribute to wage theft, and advancing policies and procedures that strengthen enforcement and penalties for employers who violate wage laws.
