What does co-operative working mean?

Workers' co-operatives have been around for some time. But as far as we know, Digital United is the first to take these guiding principles into the digital realm.
  • Your working life should be sustainable: we offer self-management and promote the values of community.
  • Joining is voluntary: how much time and money you put in and then get out is up to you.
  • Those who join, get the work: in finding new business we believe there's strength in numbers.
  • You still won't have a boss: co-operatives offer more dignity than wage-based set ups and less isolation than a conventional freelance lifestyle.
  • Our organisation is self-regulating: the Web Co-operative will be run on purely democratic lines.
  • We'll remain autonomous and independent: so that you can continue to work without interference from shareholders, management or the state. Oh, yeah!
