Cultural heritage

This was the largest workers’ cooperative in Sant Andreu and the most collectivist. During its long history (1879 – 1979), it opened a second headquarters on Carrer Solidaritat, today Carrer Rubén Darío, and came to use its own social currency. It had a cooperative bank for covering illness and old-age pensions and it provided disability allowance and maternity leave. It published a monthly newsletter and had a children’s section, a choir and a cooperative youth group.
