Workers co-op
Came out of industrial revolution-
1. trade union
2. set up a place run by workers where they made all their own decisions

5 people, co-directors and printers.. book keepers and designers

Risograph printer

No boss or shareholders

100% recyclable paper

Don't ship overseas

Pay equal wages and equal say in everything

Wages- invested into machinery, 50p per hour goes into a donations pot which is then decided what to do with it

80% of co-op's survive the first 5 years compared to 40% of other businesses

Footprint was started in 2000 when they got an offset litho press
