1. What do people think about a syndicalist organisation/co-operative that could have collective purchasing power dealing directly with manufacturers to reduce the cost of parts and tools for it's members?

    Our company cycle Training UK is a worker's coop owned and run by around 50 cycling instructors. We have trade accounts with a variety of companies both supplies for work projects and co-op members.

    We have improved out engagement with members and improved our decision making processes by agreeing collectively where decisions are made allowing some people to make decisions within their area of expertise, we agree strategic decisions using consensual decision making tools. It works really well and we have managed to maintain a degree of member's commitment and enthusiasm not often found in other businesses
