Worker cooperatives in India

This volume discusses the experiences of cooperative enterprises in India that have been operated by or influenced to a significant extent by trade unions.

It describes the origins of these movements in India presenting a political-strategic view of their development and, in some cases, their decline.

It also presents case studies of groundbreaking social experiments conducted in India in which trade unions have formed cooperatives for production and service provision for the working class movement.

It also offers lessons learned from previous social experiments and explains how to use them for future strategies in the working class movement by using primary research undertaken on trade union cooperatives in India.
