b'The Allium is an elevated plant-based, worker cooperative restaurant focused on ethical, local, and creative food and libations in the heart of Calgary\\u2019s central Beltline community. Not only is The Allium serving up delicious drinks and dinners, but it is having a positive impact on the economy, changing the way we think about the structure of restaurants, and breaking down social stereotypes we\\u2019ve come to know. \\nThrough collective ownership, worker cooperatives help provide individuals with self-empowering work and offer an alternative to our society\\u2019s dominant paradigm about what it means to be a business owner and an employee in today\\u2019s economy. \\nIn this episode, we chatted with two dynamic individuals, Laura and Jared Blustein, co-owners and workers at The Allium. We talked about: \\n\\n\\nWhat worker cooperatives are\\n\\n\\nHow The Allium differs from a \\u2018traditional\\u2019 restaurant\\n\\n\\nWhat\\u2019s worked and has proved to be more challenging throughout their journey\\n\\n\\nWhat they are most hopeful about as they look ahead\\n\\n\\n\\xa0\\nLearn More\\n\\n\\nAbout The Allium here: https://www.theallium.ca/\\n\\n\\nFor more information on cooperatives or becoming a member of The Allium, please contact info@theallium.ca.\\n\\n\\nUseful article by recently deceased Sociologist, Erik Olin Wright, that helped to inform The Allium\\u2019s engagements; https://www.ssc.wisc.edu/~wright/How%20to%20be%20an%20anticapitalist%20for%20the%2021st%20century%20--%20full%20draft,%20July%2025%202018.pdf'
