If you want to take one practical step TODAY for #digitalsovereignty: use meet.coop instead of Teams, Zoom etc. Spending £9 / month on a basic business tech function that’s *cooperatively owned* is an incredibly low risk and useful step towards a better future.

Say hello to our CoTech team there today, Natasha, Richard and Ben: members of worker owned tech cooperatives! They love to talk about #digitalsovereignty 👍
It's only a few days away from our annual conference in London.
We've got some great speakers joining us to explore "How can we move beyond corporate power? Why re-inventing corporations can help us build a fairer and more sustainable future"

Many claim that businesses organized as democracies are inefficient and will fail at a higher rate than the conventional undemocratic model.
But according to the data, democratic businesses are significantly more resilient and survive longer than conventional businesses.

News that Trump has signed an executive order banning collective bargaining for nearly 1 million US federal workers is incredibly worrying.
We stand in solidarity with our colleagues and sister unions overseas against these attacks on their union rights.
