In this TRNN special report, Jaisal Noor investigates the limitations and successes of eight co-ops across four states that were able to successfully weather the COVID-19 pandemic while prioritizing the needs of their workers. Then, TRNN hosts a follow-up discussion panel with co-op worker-owners. This project is supported by the Solutions Journalism Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rigorous and compelling reporting about responses to social problems.

  1. Incredible to see the Evergreen workers getting bumped to $20 an hour after their profit share! That's what a legitimate economy looks like.

  2. My sister worked at Publix which is supposed to be employee operated. But in reality it’s like Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” & some animals are “more equal than others.” Newer employees are trapped at low pay dead- end positions. They aren’t even allowed to transfer to a different department or a different store! Shameful.

  3. Right now there are so many jobs out there in the truck driving industry. My God, if you're 21 and want to work at a job where you can grow as an adult look into truck driving. If you have some interest in basic computer skills to operate the GPS and on board computer system of the truck and know how to read a map you're half way there. When you're out there driving, you're on your own. You have to be physically able to do some basic muscle skills of getting in & out of the tractor & trailer. Some of the larger companies will hire you as a trainee to learn how to drive and get your Commercial Driver's License CDL.
