BEYOND THE BOTTOM LINE:
AMERICAN WORKER COOPERATIVES
A dozen worker-owned companies that are changing the way America
does business.
BEYOND THE BOTTOM LINE is a 30 minute documentary about a little
known twist on the American Dream – businesses in which workers
own the stock, reap the profits and decide for themselves how the
company runs.
It is the story of worker-entrepreneurs in dozens
of communities and nearly every kind of business… from manufacturing
to health care to high tech. Some are tiny firms, while others employ
hundreds and record millions of dollars in yearly revenues.
By giving
the viewers a glimpse into the inner workings of these successful
companies, BEYOND THE BOTTOM LINE shows American
workers, entrepreneurs and business owners that viable, community-oriented
businesses are within their grasp.
