Worker Cooperatives in Chile

The worker cooperative movement in Chile has been influenced both by the 1973-1990 military dictatorship, and the neoliberal period that followed it. 

La Federación de Cooperativas de Trabajo (TRASOL) was organized in Santiago in 2015, with around 10 member cooperatives.    

One of the larger worker cooperatives in the country is Cooperativa de Trabajo Jatún Newén, which organizes around 100 members to do street cleaning and landscaping with municipal contracts.
