FEDCOOP

What We Do

Advocacy

Payroll deductions, cooperative law and public service rules all shape what a staff cooperative can do. FEDCOOP makes sure cooperators are heard when those rules are written.

In practice

What this means in practice

  • Representation to the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation and supervising ministries.
  • Engagement with cooperative regulators on registration, audit and compliance.
  • Protection of lawful payroll deduction arrangements for member societies.
  • Position papers on policy that affects federal workers' savings and welfare.

The mechanics

How it works

Member societies raise issues through the secretariat. The board agrees a position, and FEDCOOP takes it to the relevant authority.

Outcomes are reported back to all member societies.

Speaking for cooperators to government, regulators and partners.
