telekommunisten

The worker-owned telephone company.

Worker Owned and Operated

telekommunisten is controlled by it's workers and committed to staying that way, we believe we can serve our customers best and at the lowest cost by remaining focused on meeting the needs of our employees and customers, not on profits for outside shareholders. Being worker-owned means that all the money you spend on our products goes directly to the maintenance and improvement of the service you receive.

Dedicated to International Development and Aid

The founders of telekommunisten are committed activists and have contributed to numerous projects in North America, Europe and Africa, from setting up Independant media convergence spaces in Canada and working with refugees and migrants in Europe, to co-ordinating relief efforts in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. When you employ telekommunisten, you support our work.

Prototyping Venture Communism

Telekommunisten is a proto-venture-communist enterprise, putting into practise the idea of applying our labour to commonly-available "commodity" Capital and then selling our labour-product, not our labour-power.

By selling our product and not our labour, we hope to be able to mutually capture a larger share of the value of our labour and acquire the collective property needed to proceed in the establishment of a venture commune.
