Press Review   
Much new information about employee ownership in August 2006, with 940  articles in our press review (on which 238 about workers' co-operatives).
We made a selection of 29 articles in 12 countries.
The scandals about stock options got new developments in France and the US (122 articles). All major candidates to French Presidency declared willing to restrain or even forbid stock options in the future. Similar reactions appeared in other countries like Italy, Austria or UK.
Austria: A new wide research was published about employee share ownership and financial participation schemes in Austria.
 France was the hottest place regarding employee ownership in August. The new legislation is going to be voted by the Parliament in autumn, while AXA launched its new employee share ownership plan.
Germany: the German "Mitbestimmung" (co-decision) has now 30 years and some reflections are done about the future.
Ireland:  Eircom issue being now concluded (Eircom's Employee Share Ownership Trust from 21.5% to 35%), the air company Aer Lingus will be the next, privatisation  bringing wider place for employee ownership.
United Kingdom: Royal Mail continues to work on its controversial new employee share scheme.
USA: SAIC - one of the biggest employee-owned company in the world (43.000 workers) – decided to go public, but new obstacles have to be faced. A number of articles give interesting examples of employee ownership in companies (UPS, Sheridan, CI Travel, Delta Medical Center). On the other hand, be careful with "ESOP fables": Hundreds of workers at Hoover Co. (the vacuums) are searching for a way to buy their company, but experts say adopting an employee stock ownership plan to save jobs is a tough route.
The full press review lists 940 articles, on which 243 in France, 189 in the USA, 133 in Argentina, 72 in Spain, 46 in Brazil, 44 in Ireland, 40 in Italy, 29 in Germany, 23 in South Africa, 22 in Canada, 20 in India, 11 in Australia, 10 in Austria, 8 in UK, 5 in Colombia, 4 in Jamaica, 4 in Uruguay, 3 in Belgium, 3 in Thailand, 2 in Bolivia, 2 in Botswana, 2 in Chile, 2 in China, 2 in Egypt, 2 in Mexico, 2 in Peru, 2 in Switzerland, 2 in Tunisia, 2 in Venezuela, 1 in Barbados, Bengladesh, Costa Rica, Japan, Kenya,  Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Russia, Trinidad & Tobago.
