We believe in a fairer world in which wealth and resources are distributed to the people who need them rather than those best able to take them.

-

As Co-operative Technologists we aim to ensure that technology plays its part in creating a fairer world.

-

Our individual worker co-operatives have shown that workers who collectively own their companies and control their destinies make better workplaces, better suppliers and better digital products.

-

We call upon tech workers who share our vision to join us.

-

We call upon consumers of digital products – including trades unions, charities, governments and private companies – to reject the false assumption that only multinational conglomerates or private equity-funded startups can be great - tech companies. Technology is the lifeblood of all our futures, not just a gravy train for the fortunate few.

-

We hereby give notice to technology companies that do not treat their employees fairly, do not give their workers control of their businesses and do not seek to create a fairer world that your days are numbered. We are more creative, more committed - and more resilient. Join us.
