  Much new information about employee ownership in March 2008, with 1.307 articles in this press review (on which 544 involving stock options and 177 about workers' cooperatives). We made a selection of  68 remarkable articles in 16 countries: Arab Emirates, Austria, Canada, Germany, France, Ireland, India, Italy, Jordan, Malaysia, Poland, Senegal, Trinidad & Tobago, UK, USA, South Africa.
Arab Emirates and Jordan: An information campaign was organised about ESOPs and their benefits. The lack of Employee Stock Ownership Plans seems detrimental for the Arab states of the Gulf Cooperative Countries.
Austria: Vice-Chancellor Molterer points out employee ownership as one of his 10-points-programme for enterprise policy. Erste Bank and Oberbank are both launching new employee share plans.
Canada: Workers-Shareholders Cooperatives seems a good solution for business transmission.
Germany: A compromise seems imminent between Angela Merkel (CDU) and Kurt Beck (President of the SPD) about employee ownership. The Spiegel describes Beck's model of employee ownership in Rheinland-Pfalz as a flop.
France: Still many discussions about the recent decision to make employee savings freely available to boost consumption. Is Mr Sarkozy going to put employee savings to its end? A difficult situation to face for non-listed companies. On the other hand, it is still pleaded for "stock options for all", while much large French companies as Schneider launch new employee share plans. Employee ownership and corporate governance: employee shareholders will be represented in Société Générale's Board of Directors and an new agreement was found for Saint-Gobain.
Ireland: Things seems not simplifying for Babcock and the Employee Share Ownership Trust in Eircom.
India, Malaysia, Senegal: Stock options plans.
Trinidad & Tobago: Steel workers protest about the Employee Share Ownership Plan which  ArcelorMittal promised.
USA: The New York Times notes that "Europe takes a closer look at employee stock ownership". However employee ownership has its drawbacks! Wall Street employee owners shudder as Bear Stearns implodes, and the National Center for Employee Ownership places the fate of employee-owners at Bear Stearns in context. On the other hand, employees could take over plants from General Electric and from Ford. Employee ownership plans are increasingly common.
The full press review lists 1.307 articles, on which 393 in USA, 200 in France, 128 in UK, 102 in India,  91 in Argentina, 56 in Australia, 56 in Germany, 45 in Canada, 38 in Spain, 31 in South Africa, 31 in Italy, 27 in Austria, 17 in Brazil, 10 in Colombia, 11 in Ireland, 9 in Peru, 7 in Arab Emirates, 6 in Switzerland, 5 in Malaysia, 5 in Hong Kong, 5 in Trinidad & Tobago, 4 in Bulgaria, 3 in Mexico, 3 in New Zealand, 3 in Poland, 2 in Jordan, 2 in Netherlands, 2 in Philippines, 2 in Portugal, 2 in Thailand, and 1 in Algeria, Barbados, Belgium, Chile, Greece,  Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, Paraguay, Romania, Senegal, Singapore and Venezuela.

   Beaucoup d'informations nouvelles sur l'actionnariat salarié en mars 2008, avec 1.307 articles dans cette revue de presse (dont 544 à propos de stock options et 177 à propos de coopératives de travailleurs). Notre sélection propose 68 articles remarquables dans 16 pays: Emirats Arabes, Autriche, Canada, Allemagne, France, Irlande, Inde, Italie, Jordanie, Malaisie, Pologne, Sénégal, Trinidad & Tobago, Royaume Uni, USA, Afrique du Sud.
Emirats Arabes et Jordanie: Campagne d'information sur les plans d'actionnariat salarié ESOPs et leurs avantages. Le faible développement de ces plans est préjudiciable aux pays du Golfe.
Autriche: Le Vice-Chancelier Molterer pointe l'actionnariat salarié dans son programme en 10 points pour la politique d'entreprise. Erste Bank et Oberbank lancent de nouveaux plans d'actionnariat salarié.
Canada: Les Coopératives de Travailleurs Actionnaires, une bonne formule canadienne pour la transmission d'entreprises.
Allemagne: Un compromis semble imminent entre Angela Merkel (CDU) et Kurt Beck (le Président du  SPD, l'autre parti de la "grande coalition") sur l'actionnariat salarié, alors que le "modèle Beck" d'actionnariat salarié en Rhénanie-Palatinat est un flop, écrit le Spiegel.
France: Décision toujours très disputée d'avoir débloqué la participation pour stimuler la consommation privée. Le Président Sarkozy va-t-il finir par tuer l'épargne salariale? Situation difficile pour les sociétés non-cotées qui doivent faire face au déblocage de la participation des salariés. D'autre part, on continue à plaider pour "des stock options pour tous", tandis que de nombreuses grandes entreprises françaises comme Schneider lancent de nouveaux plans. Actionnariat salarié et gouvernance d'entreprise: vers une représentation des actionnaires salariés au Conseil de la Société Générale, et un arrangement est finalement trouvé entre les grands actionnaires de Saint-Gobain.
Irlande: Les choses se compliquent pour Babcock et l'actionnariat salarié (Employee Share Ownership Trust) chez Eircom.
Inde, Malaisie, Sénégal: Des plans de stock options, en veux-tu en voilà.
Trinidad & Tobago: Grève dans la sidérurgie pour concrétiser la promesse d'un plan d'actionnariat salarié chez ArcelorMittal.
USA: Le New York Times observe que "L'Europe considère l'actionnariat salarié avec une attention croissante". Pourtant l'actionnariat salarié a ses inconvénients. Les actionnaires salariés de Wall Street tremblent après l'implosion de la banque Bear Stearns, et le National Center for Employee Ownership replace l'affaire dans son contexte. En même temps, des usines pourraient être rachetées et relancées par les salariés chez General Electric et chez Ford. Les plans d'actionnariat salarié sont de plus en plus répandus.
La revue de presse complète compte 1.307 articles, dont 393 aux USA, 200 en France, 128 au Royaume Uni, 102 en Inde,  91 en Argentine, 56 en Australie, 56 en Allemagne, 45 au Canada, 38 en Espagne, 31 en Afrique du Sud, 31 en Italie, 27 en Autriche, 17 au Brésil, 10 en Colombie, 11 en Irlande, 9 au Pérou, 7 aux Emirats Arabes, 6 en Suisse, 5 en Malaisie, 5 à Hong Kong, 5 à Trinidad & Tobago, 4 en Bulgarie, 3 au Mexique, 3 en Nouvelle Zélande, 3 en Pologne, 2 en Jordanie, 2 aux Pays-Bas, 2 aux Philippines, 2 au Portugal, 2 en Thaïlande, et 1 en Algérie, Barbade, Belgique, Chili, Grèce,  Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Népal, Paraguay, Roumanie, Sénégal, Singapour et Venezuela.
