The Occupation of Workplace Democracy: Challenges and solutions for a solidarity economy
Part two of an interview with Cheyenna Weber of SolidarityNYC

Blogger's Note: I posted Part One of Dru's interview several weeks ago. My work load and the overhauling of our web site (which is off to a great start with many wonderful things to come) kept me from posting the second part. Here's a link for Part One. The beginning of Part Two and a link to it is below.)
In this, the second and concluding part of an email dialogue about the work of SolidarityNYC, Cheyenna Weber discusses the challenge of cooperative self-management in the context of social movements like Occupy Wall Street.
It's interesting that the barriers to starting a co-op, are not money or expertise but stable and trusting relationships. In your experience so far, what does it look like to build those kind of relationships successfully?
