-The purposes of Worker's co-operatives and trade unionism is very simple; it is to benefit the
working class and guarantee their labour rights in the workplace. A Worker's co-operative is an
industrial or agricultural firm which is completely democratically managed and collectively
owned by the workers operating the factors of production in order to establish, guarantee, and
protect their job security and living standards because as it is run via pure consensus and
participatory or representative democracy, they are in control of their work. 
6. Acknowledge the benefits of non-state institutions in our social life.
-The role of non-state actors cannot be discussed without touching upon the question as to what
extent human rights also apply to relations between private individuals and/or enterprises.
Imagine a construction worker earning minimum wage with no additional benefits from the
employer, no security of tenure from his work, and can be terminated any time of the day.
Question:
1. What can cooperatives and trade unions do to improve his condition?
-Trade Unions and Cooperatives can help a construction worker have equity in rights with the
employer. Being a member of a Trade Union or a Cooperative can provide protection against
abuses and exploits of a worker's legal rights. Depending on the type of Cooperative, a COOP
can also provide alternatives for the worker to have income.
2. If you were the employer, how would you adjust your job policies to suit the needs of the
employee?
-If i were the employer i will adjust my policies in order to suit the needs of the employee by
meeting their standard, they're not always the one to do the adjustment but me. A great leader
will not push their member too hard but making a difference to reach a specific goal.
