Press Review
Much
new information about employee ownership in September 2006,
with 1.507 articles in our press review (on which 280
about workers' co-operatives).
We made a selection of 50 remarkable articles in 15 countries:
Austria, Australia, China, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland,
Italy, Jamaica, Kenya, Mali, Malaysia, UK, US, South Africa.
The scandals about stock options got new developments
in France and the US (561 articles). France developed a
hot political debate about restraining or even forbidding
stock options in the future. Similar reactions appeared
in other countries. Other information came from abroad.
Much noise about nothing?
Austria: Following recent elections, things could
be more open for new employee ownership developments.
China opens its doors: two of China's top four commercial
banks, will initiate employee stock ownership plans in the
near future.
France was the hottest place regarding employee ownership
in September (354 articles in the press). The new legislation
is now going to be voted by the Parliament.
