u"The United Democratic Socialist Workers Collective (UDSWC) is a corporation based on the principles of equity. We are first and foremost a mining cooperative, making our home at the edge of Low-Sec but still safely within High-Sec. We believe in a meritocracy that allows for advancement. Alpha and Omega clones are paid the same for the same jobs, and if a member is not Omega they may still pursue other roles within the corporation such as security, hauling, and scouting.

Being a collective, work shifts function based on shares.

Those piloting Ventures (T1 or T2) will receive 1 share.

Those piloting Barges, Exhumers, Haulers, and Security get 2 shares.

Those piloting Command Ships and the Shift Leader each get 3 shares.

The Corporation gets 1 share of every work shift.

The method we use is as follows.

1. Assemble the group. Recommend one security member even in High-Sec to save time pirate disruptions. Low-Sec and Null-Sec security is at the discretion of the Shift Leader.
2. See where and what ore near the group\u2019s location is selling for the most within 8 jumps for a large buy order.
3. Go to an asteroid belt rich with that resource, and mine it exclusively. Ventures dump holds for haulers to pick up, security deals with any intruders, and everyone focuses together on collecting the resource.
4. When at capacity, discuss as a group whether the fleet will break up after everyone is paid out, or after you return to a safer part of space.
5. When ready, go as one fleet to the location of the buy order. Sell all ore, then divide that number by the total number of shares claimed, including the one share for the corporation.
6. The Shift Leader then pays out everyone either 1, 2, or 3 shares of the total sale, including one for the corporation.

All work is on a volunteer basis, anyone can schedule a shift and act as shift leader if enough people join them, and working together as a team the profits that will be made quickly will be greater than if we just go out and mine alone. Non-UDSWC members are welcome for any shift led by an acting Shift Leader and are paid shares based on their craft and role the same as members, though they may not act as Shift Leader.

This corporation is a democracy, though our democracy is a meritocracy. Everyone gets a number of votes based on the highest number of shares a member can earn from a UDSWC work site, with the CEO getting 4 votes in such an event. Major expenditures of corporation funds will be voted on before ISK is spent.

If you decide you have moved on beyond mining and are seeking a new corporation, there is no need to resign or let us know you\u2019re leaving. Our collective is free to come and leave as one chooses, and based on the principle of equitable pay for equitable work.

After 30 days, you can petition the corporation for a loan. We charge 5% non-compounding interest per month it takes to pay back the loan. The corporation will take a vote on the loan, and if your fellow collective members vote for your loan's approval, you will immediately be transferred the funds. Failure to repay a loan within 6 months will result in being kicked out of the UDSWC and being barred from all future USDWC work sites.
