Coir Factory in the Throes of Globalization

Produced from the husks of soaked coconuts, these men and women spin, weave, dye, and make products we see in the states (doormats, rugs, and other durable goods). This factory is collectively owned, thus insuring each worker is both a shareholder and stakeholder in the company. Furthermore, there is wage equity between women and men. Unfortunately for this outfit they've gone for 240 to 16 workers, given the scarcity of skilled labor and the competition with large, multinational firms.
