Can't they hire managers ?
I had a similar discussion on a FSP list a few days ago, where it was argued that worker coops (SCOP in France) can't be much good because workers aren't qualified to manage properly.
I pointed them at the SEC report on Jobs where it shows that basically Jobs has no education more than HS and a few semesters in Uni. If that's not an under qualified worker then what is ?
SCOP in France do not require all the workers to be associates. The only requirement is (afair) regarding how earnings are used and how capital is raised. SCOPs can hire anybody to fill any kind of position.
