Body paragraph
Baltimore's rich cooperative heritage dates back a couple hundred years to a shoemakers union that opened its own factory in 1794, according to John Curl, cooperative historian and author of For All The People: Uncovering the Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America. Curl writes in the Eastern Conference for Workplace Democracy booklet entitled "Worker Cooperation and Collaboration in Baltimore & DC: Yesterday and Today" distributed at the July 8-10, 2011 worker co-op conference that Baltimore was a center for worker cooperation. Here we offer Curl's history as well as articles from other worker cooperative and collaborative groups in the Baltimore-DC area.
