(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Shift Change, a new documentary about cooperatives will have its D.C. premiere on December 17, with a daytime screening and panel discussion on worker cooperative and job creation at the AFL-CIO, and an evening screening and Q&A with the filmmakers at the E Street Cinema. “At a time when many are disillusioned with big banks, big business and growing inequality in the United States, employee ownership offers real solutions for workers and communities,” the filmmakers say. Shift Change visits thriving cooperative businesses in the U.S. and Spain, sharing on-the-ground experiences, lessons and observations from the worker-owners on the front lines of the new economy.
