More Co-ops Vote for Unions

A summary of labor unions and food co-ops, with reference to the current situation at Seward Co-op, appears in the current issue of the Minneapolis neighborhood paper, Southside Pride. Unlike many treatments of food co-op union discussions, this one appears balanced and accurate—including examples from co-ops in the Twin Cities, Milwaukee, Duluth, and elsewhere. In most instances, the union is United Food and Commercial Workers, and the election is not contested—but not always.
