A Documentary Film by Melissa Young & Mark Dworkin

True Stories of Dignified Jobs in Democratic Workplaces Shift Change is an inspiring film about worker-owned businesses in Spain and the U.S.

At a time when many people are disillusioned with big banks, big business, and growing inequity in the U.S., employee ownership offers real solutions for workers and communities. Shift Change visits the 60-year-old network of cooperative businesses in Mondragon, Spain.

From one small worker-owned business formed in 1956, today the Mondragón Cooperatives comprise 120 businesses and nearly 100,000 worker-owners. They have their own bank with 380 branches located throughout Spain and operate the largest Research & Development center in all of Europe.

While Spain experiences 25% unemployment, the Mondragón Cooperatives have 0% unemployment! This film explores the secrets of their success.
