The USW/Mondragon agreement to talk further is significant even though it is pretty vague. However to take the most "optimistic" view of this development without some sense of the limitations integral to an approach within the context of neo-liberalism leaves us open to false hopes. Recently two reps from Mondragon visited North California and after that visit I wrote an analysis of Mondragon's relationship to worker cooperative development. That analysis can be viewed here: http://jasecon.wik.is/Analysis/Mondragon:_What_relevance_for_US_cooperative_development? -bernard

Thank you Jen for a great review! One point of information: Design Action, who designed the poster illustrating this online version of the article, is a seven year old spin-off of Inkworks Press and also collectively run. Starting with two folks it is now a thriving agency of six and growing! Those who want to learn more about the worker cooperatives in the SF Bay Area should go to the website for the Network of Bay Area Worker Cooperatives (NoBAWC, pronounced "No Boss!") at: www.nobowc.org.
