I love this idea. They can also get big too, here is one from Spain that employs ~80K people - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondragon_Corporation

Where would you recommend looking for help and information on doing this in the US?



thirdcoastworkers.coop is a Texas based group that might be helpful.

http://usworker.coop/front is also good. Mondragon is cool; another group with the same name operates in Quebec. Worker coops can be flat structures or simply be companies where the board is elected. Either way, the members control profits and mission.
