#2From the article:
At Mondragon, there are agreed-upon wage ratios
between executive work and field or factory work
which earns a minimum wage. These ratios range
from 3:1 to 9:1 in different cooperatives and
average 5:1. That is, the general manager of an
average Mondragon cooperative earns no more than
5 times as much as the theoretical minimum wage
paid in their cooperative. For most workers, this
ratio is smaller because there are few Mondragon
worker-owners that earn minimum wages, because
most jobs are somewhat specialized and are
classified at higher wage levels. The wage ratio
of a cooperative is decided periodically by its
worker-owners through a democratic vote.
edit: added "worker" to "coop" (as I'm not interested in non-worker coops)

#3Went to a talk given by them once. They have cool things like a maximum ratio between the highest and lowest salary. They've done some huge projects in the past like energy turbines and the likes.

I am from Bizkaia and I'd love to work there, but as I had no luck on Derio/Zamudio neither, I am skeptical.

#9Hi,
greetings from a worker that work at Ikerlan (a research/technological center part of the corporation). We are a second degree cooperative. Formed by workers and companies that we work for. You can see things that we do at https://www.ikerlan.es/en/
Happy to answer to questions if I can :)
