-I don't know about the US, but worker cooperatives in Canada still operate by the "ownerwship" model of paying a share price. The value of the share DOES increase, which benefits members. Some worker cooperatives will finance a share price.

-When a worker cooperative does not charge a share price, there is little "buy-in" from the members. The share price creates an ownership mentality, strengthening the cooperative.

-Hi, I added this section because it very clearly lays out the difference between the three different types of ownership patterns. When I first saw this it really helped me understand the differences. I'm not sure where it should go on the page though. Is it okay where it is?  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:EdGJones|EdGJones]] ([[User talk:EdGJones|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/EdGJones|contribs]]) 12:38, 14 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

-::The chart is very nice. However, the "Socialism" section represents only a single form of socialism. On a broader scale, collectives and socialism overlap, i.e. it is possible to have non-socialist collectives and non-collective socialism, but it is also possible to have socialist collectives and collective socialism. I am changing the page slightly to reflect that.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/207.255.46.213|207.255.46.213]] ([[User talk:207.255.46.213|talk]]) 21:58, 11 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

-:::Bureaucratic collectivism is pretty specific (and loaded) term to be using in this context - the link should go to [[state ownership]] instead. I think there are some problems with the chart section. Here are a few issues:
-:::1. US-centric bias
+Cooperación de relaciones humanas de trabajo [[Special:Contributions/2803:C800:404B:4E43:1:0:B41B:43B4|2803:C800:404B:4E43:1:0:B41B:43B4]] ([[User talk:2803:C800:404B:4E43:1:0:B41B:43B4|talk]]) 21:29, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
-:::2. The operating practices section claims that in non-union workplaces, it's entirely up to the bosses to decide what workers' rights are. Not true; in the US and Canada, at least, workers have certain basic rights (including minimum wage laws, health and safety standards, and the right to form and join unions) that are protected by the government.
-:::3. The same section's "socialism" row ignores the role of unions in state-run organizations. Some of Canada's strongest unions represent public sector workers.
-:::4. Capitalism is a type of economy, and so is socialism, but worker cooperatives are not. Cooperatives can exist in a capitalist economy or in a mixed or socialist economy (such as Chavez's Venezuela or Tito's Yugoslavia). I think the appropriate comparison is between privately owned companies, publically owned companies, and worker cooperatives, not capitalism, socialism, and worker cooperatives. -[[User:Father Inire|Father Inire]] ([[User talk:Father Inire|talk]]) 10:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
-::::I made a few changes to start addressing these issues. -[[User:Father Inire|Father Inire]] ([[User talk:Father Inire|talk]]) 13:11, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
-::::: Thanks for the comments. The difficulty with what you are saying is that I directly took that chart from the book by Adams, Frank and Gary Hansen (1993) Putting Democracy To Work: A Practical Guide for Starting and Managing Worker-Owned Businesses, Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc, San Francisco. I was originally intending on keeping it how it is. However, if we are to change the chart then we need to completely overhaul it away from the original, especially because, as you point out, it has a real US bias. Feel free to keep changing it. Also, I much prefer state owned enterprises to bureaucratic collectivism in the chart. I see your point about capitalism and socialism, but is there no way of including those terms in there? After all, the corporation is the fundamental economic organisation of modern day capitalism. Finally, if you feel there is a section missing on unions on the chart, why not add a row on unions? Also, after all that, you may be interested in reading my paper on [http://mphil.acrewoods.net/index.php/Workers_Coop_Paper workers co-ops]. Comments welcome! -[[User: EdGJones|EdGJones]]  ([[User talk: EdGJones|EdGJones]]) 14:19, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
-== India Coffee House Claims ==
-Regarding claims that the indian coffee houses are the largest cooperative movement in the world. The International Co-operative Alliance [http://global300.coop/sites/global300.dev.xeriom.net/files/launchlist.pdf list of the leading co-ops] does not list any of the Indian Coffee Houses.  Thanks to [[User:Mtiedemann|Martín]] in the [[Indian Coffee House, Kerala]] article.
-Section also claims there are today over 150 branches, when [http://www.indiancoffeehouse.com/branches.htm its own website] only lists 51 branches.
-I am removing this entire paragraph because it
-*1. contains factual errors.
-*2. contains bold claims which are not cited.
-*3. is poorly written.

-==sources, sources, sources==
-do you hate that 'no citations' banner at the top of the article? i'm proposing that we work towards getting rid of it by launching a campaign of citation-finding. i've set up a references section at the bottom and already thrown in three sources. if you have any questions about citations, please see [[WP:CITE]] -- [[User:Frymaster|frymaster]] 04:07, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
-==Trade Unions==
-I placed a [[WP:NPOV|neutrality]] tag at the top of this section because it sounds like it is pleading a case for unions in the worker co-op. I'm also concerned about the notability and relevance of this section's inclusion in the worker co-op article.
