(Past Event) Worker Co-ops for Tech Workers

About Event

This is a meeting for unemployed tech workers, who have capacity, risk tolerance, and desire to step away from traditional tech workplace environment. In the meeting, you’ll

• learn what a worker co-op is
• learn the benefits of a co-op vs. a traditional business
• discuss attendee skills, interests, & potential business ideas.
• learn the legal, tax, and social implications of entering co-op business relationships.

Worker co-ops are democratic enterprises. Unemployed workers could use this structure to create new opportunities for employment by building local businesses with a pro-social bottom line. Building a robust worker co-op sector in PDX improves community resilience in these challenging times.

Location and Time

Multnomah County Central Library, 801 SW 10th Ave, Portland, OR 97205, Room 1A. Friday, Sep 18 2026, 4PM - 5:30PM PDT.
