"Tony Dunn, a longtime labor activist, who is starting a
worker-owned
business in Lynn, will talk about his recent trip to <b>Mondragon
in Spain</b>.
He will be joined by Eric Johnson, an active member of the U.S.
Federation of Cooperatives, who works at Red Sun Press, a unionized
worker-owned business in Boston.
<p>
While unemployment reaches Depression-era levels, the politicians
talk
about cutting deficits, ignoring the needs of the 99 percent. How
do we
build a new economy based on the needs of the people? Mondragon is
a
network of worker-owned co-ops that is Spain’s seventh-largest
corporation. <b>The Mondragon cooperatives employ more than
80,000 people
and virtually never lay anyone off.</b></p>
<p>
People are already working to bring the Mondragon model to the
North Shore.<br>
All are welcome to this free program."<br>
