2012 is the United Nations International Year of Cooperatives
We are a coop, we have a coop, we can just spread our cooperative un-self-consciously into the economy…OA worker, 2012
By being a cooperative, part of our job is to make cooperatives an alternative to the dominant market. We focus on people, on workers & their rights, and on finding business solutions that continue to enhance all of our lives.
In the U.S., there are 30,00 cooperatives – and they all operate under the Seven Cooperative Principles.
Putting People First
That’s what we’re about. We care about ourselves, and make sure that we take care of our rights as workers and as humans. We care about the people involved in the food industry – such as farmworkers, our delivery drivers, and workers for small and large corporations serving the food and health industry. Many of the choices we make, as a business, in choosing what food and other products we carry stems from putting people first.
