Worker Co-op Council
The Worker Co-operative Council shapes strategic priorities for worker co-operative and employee owned members of Co-operatives UK and acts as a sounding board on important issues.

- Stephen Gill – VME Coop
- Debbie Clarke – Unicorn Grocery

The 2022 election cycle for the Worker Co-op Council is completed, with Ross Hodgson and Sion Whellens re-elected and Stephen Gill joining the Council. Contact membership@uk.coop with any queries.
Worker Co-op Code
The Worker Co-operative Code sets out what members of a worker co-operative should expect and work together to achieve.
It has been created by the Worker Co-op Council to help people create and defend decent jobs, with a culture of equality and respect at work, where people benefit fairly from their own labour and take collective control of their working lives.
