Industrial Common Ownership Movement | Vibepedia

The Industrial Common Ownership Movement (ICOM) was a UK-based organization that promoted worker cooperatives, aiming to increase their numbers and influence in the country. Founded in 1971, ICOM played a crucial role in shaping the concept of democracy in industry. In 2001, it merged with the Co-operative Union to form Co-operatives UK. ICOM's legacy extends beyond the UK, as it was a founding member of CECOP, the European regional organization of CICOPA, and part of the International Cooperative Alliance.
