    Definitely better than a standard corporation, but since the workers aren’t the owners, they can still be exploited at the end of the day. With worker coops, the workers democratically run the business that they spend most of their waking hours working at. With consumer coops, the consumers decide how the business is run (in an ideal scenario), but the workers don’t get a say, or at least don’t get more of a say than consumers, assuming the workers are also consumers.

      hmmm… but at least they’re being exploited for the benefit of the commonwealth not the capital! (whistles past the graveyard)
