Attempting to work co-operatively in QueenslandAustralian Journal of Social Issues, 24
In many parts of the world, and in at least three states in Australia, the last decade has seen a resurgence of interest in worker co‐operatives as a response to high levels of unemployment. Significant determinants of the degree of success of worker co‐operatives are the attitudes of powerful people and organisations in the community. This study documents the attitudes of politicians and political parties, public servants, representatives from business, trade unions, churches and cooperatives in Queensland. Despite the history of co‐operatives and the persistent efforts of some informal groups to work co‐operatively in Queensland, no strong commitment to the concept of worker co‐operatives was found. Attitudes might best be described as varying between disinterested and hostile. Those committed to the development of worker co‐operatives in Queensland will have to engage these critical attitudes as part of any development process.
