Fair Compensation and Ownership: How Co-ops Prioritize Your Needs
Unlike traditional employment agencies, AlliedUP co-op is dedicated to ensuring fair compensation for our worker-members. Through the cooperative model, workers not only receive above-market, union-scale wages, but also a share of the co-op’s annual profits in the form of dividends. This collective sharing of success builds economic security beyond an hourly wage, creating a domino effect of protection and care for our members and the communities where they live and work. This financial benefit provides a source of economic security that helps worker-members plan and achieve financial goals.
As part owner of the co-op, worker- members have a personal stake in its success. This sense of ownership drives a strong commitment to providing excellent service and fostering a supportive work environment. The co-op’s financial success becomes everyone’s success, establishing a mutually beneficial relationship that promotes long-term career satisfaction and stability.

By participating in the decision-making processes of the co-op, worker-members can influence its strategic direction, policies, and initiatives. This level of engagement not only gives a sense of ownership but also allows you to shape the co-op’s future.
