Big Labor Forms Co op Stores Across Detroit Area

In Detroit area five stores opened in 1948, a sixth in Dearborn, and more planned in Flint, Lansing, Saginaw, Muskegon, and Toledo, funded by union stocks and backed by Eastern Michigan Co operatives. The movement aims to show co ops as a democracy aligned, not controlled, by unions and independent boards, with units already reporting weekly sales up to 16 500 during holiday peaks.
