Brotherhood Talks: Co-ops and mutuals

Co-operatives and mutuals – a win-win for workers and communities experiencing disadvantage

The Research & Policy Centre at the Brotherhood of St Laurence invites you to its November Brotherhood Talks session.

The expert panel of Melina Morrison (Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals), Gerrie Mitra PSM (Group Executive Director, Disability and Reform, SA Department of Human Services), Dave Kerin (Earthworker Co-operative Network) and Eleanor Coffey (Redgum Cleaning Co-operative) will unpack the theory and practice of worker owned co-operatives and mutuals. How can such enterprises deliver increased economic security for workers and better outcomes for communities experiencing disadvantage? Should worker owned co-operatives play a more prominent role in Australia?
