  Much new information about employee ownership in August 2007, with 1.121 articles in this press review (on which 381 involving stock options and 171 about workers' cooperatives). We made a selection of  42 remarkable articles in 10 countries: Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Jamaica, Poland, UK, USA, South Africa.
Austria: Employee share ownership gets more and more support, even faster than in Germany. "Alle wollen Mitarbeiterbeteiligung" – they all want employee ownership.
Germany: Debate about employee share ownership is at the top, both political parties of the big coalition having published their own proposals. "Das System Merkel".
Canada: The lure of ESOPs is growing. Planning for employee share ownership in your Canadian company.
France: More and more companies are offering shares to wider groups of employees. A new survey shows that employee share ownership is considered as a win/win tool by 91% of executives and 66% of employees.
Ireland: Employee share ownership trusts (with a 35% stake in Eircom and a 15% stake in Aer Lingus) support new strategies.
Jamaica: Government will transfer a 20% stake to the employees of the Jamaica Public Service.
Poland: Bus services strike ends - the president of Kielce is to withdraw the motion to close the company, and its personnel is to set up a new employee-owned corporation.
UK: Firms owned by staff have beaten the FTSE all-share. So why aren't there more?
USA: Ideally, employee stock plans can give workers more leverage. Recently released results from the Employee Ownership Foundation's 16th Annual ESOP Economic Performance Survey prove that the decision to become employee-owned means better company performance and greater wealth creation for employee owners. However, a recent study suggests that big public companies are backing away from employee stock ownership plans. Now decision was taken to buy the Chicago Tribune through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, things are progressing: Tribune buyout plan won shareholders OK - Unions demand employee representation on Board – Still many questions about how solid is the deal.
South Africa: "Employee Share Plan a Victory, Unions Say".

   Beaucoup d'informations nouvelles sur l'actionnariat salarié en août 2007, avec 1.121 articles dans cette revue de presse (dont 381 à propos de stock options et 171 à propos de coopératives de travailleurs actionnaires). Notre sélection propose 42 articles remarquables dans 10 pays: Allemagne, Autriche, Canada, France, Irlande, Jamaïque, Grande Bretagne, Pologne, USA et Afrique du Sud.
Autriche: De plus en plus de sympathies pour l'actionnariat salarié. "Alle wollen Mitarbeiterbeteiligung" – ils en veulent tous!
Allemagne: L'actionnariat salarié est à l'avant-plan de l'actualité politique. Les deux partis de la grande coalition ont chacun publié leurs propositions pour rattraper le retard de l'Allemagne. "Das System Merkel" – le système Merkel.
Canada: L'attrait des plans d'actionnariat salarié (ESOPs) augmente. Comment on planifie l'actionnariat salarié dans l'entreprise canadienne.
France: De plus en plus d'entreprises offrent des actions à leurs salariés et l'attribution d'actions gratuites n'est plus l'apanage des grands patrons. Selon une étude Altedia-BNP Paribas de juin 2007, l'actionnariat salarié est perçu comme un outil gagnant/gagnant à 91% pour les chefs d'entreprises et 66% pour les salariés.
Irlande: L'actionnariat salarié intervient dans les choix stratégiques, avec une part de 35% dans le capital de Eircom, et 15% chez Aer Lingus.
Jamaïque: Le gouvernement va transférer 20% aux salariés de Jamaica Public Service.
Pologne: Fin de la grève des bus dans la ville de Kielce – le président va revenir sur la décision de fermer l'entreprise et le personnel va constituer une nouvelle société d'actionnariat salarié.
Grande Bretagne: Les firmes d'actionnariat salarié battent l'indice boursier FTSE. Alors, pourquoi ne sont elles pas bien plus nombreuses?
USA: Idéalement, les plans d'actionnariat donnent un levier supplémentaire aux travailleurs. Les résultats de la 16ème enquête annuelle sur les performances économiques des entreprises montrent que la décision de passer à l'actionnariat salarié signifie de meilleures performances pour l'entreprise et davantage de richesse pour les salariés actionnaires. Cependant, une étude récente semble indiquer que les grandes sociétés cotées ont tendance à se détourner des plans d'actionnariat salarié. Maintenant que la décision de racheter le Chicago Tribune (la deuxième entreprise de presse américaine) via un plan d'actionnariat salarié (Employee Stock Ownership Plan), les choses se mettent en place: les actionnaires du Tribune ont donné leur feu vert; les syndicats demandent une représentation des salariés au Conseil; toujours beaucoup de questions sur la viabilité de l'affaire.
Afrique du Sud: "Employee Share Plan a Victory, Unions Say" – l'actionnariat salarié une victoire, affirment les syndicats.
La revue de presse complète compte 1.121 articles, dont 466 aux USA, 100 en Argentine, 94 en Allemagne, 84 en France, 67 en Grande Bretagne, 60 au Canada, 32 en Autriche, 27 en Australie, 25 en Espagne, 23 au Brésil, 21 en Inde, 18 en Irlande, 16 en Afrique du Sud, 15 en Colombie, 13 en Italie, 10 en Suisse, 9 en Finlande, 6 en Nouvelle Zélande, 5 en Bulgarie, 3 au Mexique, 3 à la  Jamaïque, 3 à la Barbade, 3 aux Pays-Bas, 2 au Luxembourg, à la Réunion au Venezuela, et 1 en Bolivie, Emirats Arabes Unis, Chine, Kenya, Malaysie, Nigeria, Pérou, Pologne, Portugal, Porto Rico, Russie.

  Muchas nuevas noticias sobre el accionariado asalariado este mes de agosto 2007, con 1.121 artículos en nuestra revista de prensa (cuyos 381 en torno a los stock options y 171 en torno a las cooperativas de trabajadores accionistas). Nuesta selección propone 42 artícluos destacados en 10 países : Alemania, Austria, Canadá, Francia, Irlanda, Jamaica, Gran Bretaña, Polonia, EEUU y Africa del Sur.
Autstria: Cada vez más simpatía para el accionariado asalariado "Alle wollen Mitarbeiterbeteiligung" – lo quieren todos!
Alemania: El accionariado asalariado sigue protagonizando la actualidad política. Los dos partidos de la coalición publicaron sus propuestas para acabar con el retraso en Alemania. "Das System Merkel" –el sistema Merkel.
Canadá: Los planes de accionariado asalariado (ESOPs) cada vez mas atractivos. Como se planifica los planes de accionariado asalariado en la empresa canadiense.
Francia: Cada vez más empresas ofrecen acciones a sus asalariados y la atribución de acciones gratuitas ya no son unicamente reservadas a los grandes patrones. Segun un estudio Altedia-BNP Paribas de junio 2007, el accionariado asalariado es percibido como una herramienta ganador/ganador al 91% por los jefes de empresa y el 66% por los asalariados.
Irlanda: El accionariado asalariado interviene en las elecciones estrategicas con el 35% del capital de Eircom, y el 15% en Aer Lingus.

Polonia: Fin de la huelga de los autobuses en la ciudad de Kielce – el presidente renuncia en cerrar la empresa y el personal va constituír una nueva sociedad de accionariado asalariado.
Gran Bretaña: Las empresas de accionariado asalariado superan al indice bursatil FTSE. ¿Entonces, por que razón no son más numerosas ?
EEUU: Idealmente, los planes de accionariado asalariado son un incentivo suplementario para los trabajadores. Los resultados de la 16 encuesta anual sobre los resultados económicos de las empresas muestran que la decision de pasar al accionariado asalariado significa mejores rendimientos para las empresa y más riqueza para los accionistas asalariados. Sin embargo, un estudio reciente parece mostrar que las grandes empresas cotizadas tienen tendencia en salirse de los planes de accionariado asalariado. Ahora que la decisión de comprar al Chicago Tribune (la segunda empresa de prensa america) via un plan de accionariado asalariado (Employee Stock Ownership Plan), las cosas parencen ir aclarándose: los accionistas del Tribune dieron permiso; los sindicatos piden una representación de los asalariados en el Consejo; todavía muchas preguntas sobre la viabilidad del caso.
Africa del Sur: "Employee Share Plan a Victory, Unions Say" – accionariado asalariado una victoria, afirman los sindicatos.
