Cooperative Business
•
by Liberak
The Cooperative group is looking for workers and it will be done in a cooperative fashion.
The base wage is 1000 cc with unlimited overtime
75% of all profits will be shared across all active workers relative to their activity (including overtime), ideally, we would also work together to make the product as cheap as possible for the benefit of the nation.
In my view this would be the most beneficial way to operate in the economy, the product should be the cheapest on the market, the workers will be paid well and directly from their production, and I can still have a decent income from the Cooperative.
Currently the company operates in the housing market, I intend to expand across all sectors which is bound to increase the workers' eventual income and create fairly priced products. Unfortunately gold isn't the easiest to come by so please be patient in this regard.
I will record the sales of houses and eventually whatever products that are sold, this will be open to the workers to ensure payment rights.
This is partly an attempt of Cooperatism and generally left wing economics in eRepublik but also a way to see if the benefits can be maximised for all without serious drawbacks, if anything, this can be a fun experiment and we'll see how it goes.
If anyone sees any specific problems or concerns then let me know, I'm happy to learn!

Communist Authoritarian Dictatorship? now your going for ppls income, please keep publishing these nonsensical articles
You’re a moron unfortunately, the reason you think any of it is nonsensical is because you’re illiterate.
I love seeing some spice in the comments
This is great for the bosses
Paying workers 1k when the market pays 5k
Also a way of avoiding taxes 🙁
Liberak, your idea to give 75% of profits to the workers is nice, however, you never promised financial reports or monthly articles showing income etc which would be essential for trust and transparency.
1k is 5 times below market rate, you need to publish an estimate on how much each worker will get when you employ however many workers you want to employ.
I quite literally put in the article that profits and balance will ne shared with the workers at all time: “ I will record the sales of houses and eventually whatever products that are sold, this will be open to the workers to ensure payment rights.”
So yes, I did indeed promise transparency in this regard.
But, how will it be open to workers?
I was thinking a consistently updating excel sheet with storage included of products to sell, the products on the market and the predicted income. Then I’d hopefully give 75% every day to start since I question how many would do it. Ideally I would have preferred to use an organisation but recording it can do it good enough.
And finally, will sales be published nationwide in an article, or will it be kept solely for workers?
If I can do so, through an organisation so the finances are public for all to see and that will be published nationally. If I can only do it through my account then I'll probably just keep it for the workers as it makes more sense that way.
1k as a base + 75%, it wouldn’t be a bad wage and i’ve been very clear about how it would operate. I didn’t think about the taxation but I’d be happy to directly donate to cover it.
You were 100% behind communes when you were in PCP Keith. What changed?
I looked at the facts
And those are?
The facts are a member of the opposition party did one and now he doesn't like it. For a left wing party, TUP are very opposed to left wing economics...
I just saw an advert yesterday for co-op funeral care or something....
Looks awfully similar to your newspaper logo...
don't look at the coop supermarkets logo
It’s going to be another spam situation isn’t it? 😂

How have you never heard of the co-op before Dwyer?
Who knows 😉
I suppose I don't watch live tv all that much...
Huh? Have you never stepped foot outside?
And what's live tv got to do with it?
/s
I don't think you know what a co-op is
If you say so!
Still not answered...
I don't need to prove that I'm not an idiot to you. I know that I know, that's all I need! I don't need your validation, nor do I actually want/seek it.
STFU,

Interesting...
And?
it’s been days… still no answer
Excellent idea. Shows left/right politics is a thing in erep these days! I expect you'll need to keep promoting the program for max coverage and to get participants over time, hopefully it goes well.
After the Power Spin event i will come join you.
Many thanks o7
Why not,
we can try something new.
My thoughts too, shame some are so opposed to testing. I have high hopes!
Best of luck!
"The base wage is 1000 cc "
"75% of all profits will be shared across all active workers "
Translation: I'll pay you peanuts and keep a big chunk of the profits for myself.
You believe anything outside of the military module is meta, not the conversation you have much credibility in.
So will your workers get more than £5k otherwise they are being exploited
They already have been given more, I'm in communication with the coop workers, I'm sure they'd value your concern but I've been open here and moreso to them. I'm not entirely sure why everyone thinks they wouldn't earn good money from the profits?
The proof of the pudding is in the eating
@Liberak, it's mostly because we're not sure what your profits are, and how many workers you have etc.
We're looking proof that it works.
Sounds good so far!
If only such a keen interest was taken in the finances of the nation!
