Spanish
employee-owned "sociedades laborales"
|
|
|
The
European Parliament's Committee on Employment and Social
Affairs published a study on the Spanish model of sociedades
laborales.
This business model is characterized by the majority
of the company's capital being held by employee shareholders.
Initially in the 80's, its creation was linked to processes
of crisis and industrial reconversion.
Since the mid 90's, it had an important boom in corporate
processes, boosting enterprise creation.
Today, 66.000employees
are working for the 10.000 sociedades laborales,
most of them being shareholders of the company they
work for.
This is a typical business model for employee ownership
in very small enterprises.
