Empowering Care Workers as Worker-Owners

In Episode Two, Mo Manklang and Terrell Cannon discuss the importance of agency and a sense of belonging in the workplace, along with the vital role that caregiving plays in the health and well-being of a community. Mo, the Policy Director at the U.S Federation of Worker Cooperatives, tells a compelling story of what might be possible if we reframe the way that we consider work and business. Terrell, who is the Director of Training at Home Care Associates (itself a worker owned cooperative) discusses the benefits of being a worker-owner and the importance of treating home care as an essential service.
