Empowering worker co-ops? Now that’s the kind of ownership democracy America’s been starving for. This bill could turn ‘the American Dream’ into a team sport instead of an individual lottery.

Finally, a bill that puts workers in the driver's seat, not just shareholders. About time we let employees share the pie, not just watch it get sliced up for billionaires.
