Co-ops are a good thing, unionized co-ops (if the workers aren’t the owners anyway) is even better.

Consumer-owned does still have a big potential of conflict between owners and workers, a union can absolutely help with that.

An even better model is a multi-stakeholder co-op where consumers and workers both own shares.

I’m not very familiar with consumer co-ops beyond “the thing that keeps popping up when I try to look into worker co-ops”. What do you get out of a multi-stakeholder co-op that’s better than a pure worker’s co-op?
