The U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives is a national, grassroots membership organization for worker cooperatives, based in Oakland, California. Its mission is to develop a robust cooperative movement that offers stable, empowering jobs through worker ownership, governance, and management. The federation furthers worker-owned, -managed, and -governed workplaces through education, advocacy, and development, connecting local networks with national and international partners. It represents more than 160 member organizations employing over 4,000 workers across the country, coordinating through local cooperative networks to advance economic justice rooted in shared ownership. Operating in the civic and social organizations sector, it functions as a national hub that links member co-ops with broader partners to advance cooperative policy and practice. In 2026, it launched a Labor Neutrality Pledge, inviting co-op organizations to affirm workers' right to organize.
