Y. Comeau et B. Levesque, WORKERS FINANCIAL PARTICIPATION IN THE PROPERTY OF ENTERPRISES IN QUEBEC, Economic and industrial democracy, 14(2), 1993, pp. 233-250
This paper describes the principal models for worker participation in
property in Quebec. Four formulas are presented. First, the workers' i
nvestment funds have original characteristics, both in the scope of po
pular participation and in the strategic role taken on by these funds.
Second, worker-shareholders' co-operatives are a controversial model
which is unique to Quebec. Third, workers' co-operatives are examined.
Fourth, the paper looks at individual worker participation in shareho
lding. In conclusion, the paper evaluates each formula for its potenti
al for development and for democratizing work.
