In 2007, the UnionCo-ops Committee was conceptualized at the Eastern Conference for Workplace Democracy (ECWD) in Asheville, North Carolina where Lynn Williams (USW) was keynote speaker. The council then became part of the U.S. Federation of Worker Co-ops and has met monthly since, helping building local and national connections between worker co-ops and labor unions.
