Whether taking the form of worker cooperatives, employee ownership trusts, or employee stock ownership plans, employee-owned firms have enjoyed considerable successes in jurisdictions like Italy, Spain, the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. But they remain relatively rare in Canada, despite the fact that they tend to be at least as productive as conventional investor-owned firms and have significant benefits for workers, firms, and society.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationaldemocratic employee ownershippolicyBook
