How the coop movement can help us win together

Workers at the former Republic Windows & Doors have been much celebrated in the press for their victory over Bank of America.

True to the cooperative movement, their transition to become New Era Windows was supported by a network of allies who propelled the workers into the limelight and helped them overcome those banks that were deemed too big to fail. Theirs is a story of sharing ideas and making a joint effort at movement building, with co-op developers, unions, and the workers themselves as players.
