Abstract
There are three broad categories of worker cooperatives, of which only one is covered by our survey. We concentrated on the common ownership CO movement initiated by Scott Bader Chemicals in 1950, and recently given a boost by the Industrial Common Ownership Act 1976, restricting ourselves to small businesses under 200 employees engaged in production or urban services, i.e. excluding agricultural coops and communes. Before going on to describe the findings of our survey it is appropriate to describe briefly the two other classes of worker cooperative.
