The RI Worker Cooperative Alliance celebrates Worker Cooperative Advocacy Day with Fuerza Laboral and elected officials at the State House. During the short speaking program, legislators, employee-owned businesses, and organizations that support worker cooperatives in Rhode Island will share their experiences and strategies for fostering a sustainable local economy, including proposed legislation to encourage employee ownership: the Opportunity for Employee Ownership Act.
The Rhode Island Opportunity for Employee Ownership Act (H-5940 / SB-752) increases opportunity for employees to purchase and own the business where they work, when that business is put up for sale.
