Dear Dave:

        

Welcome to
the EO Nation discussion! We are currently creating a matrix of employee
ownership laws and policies in various. It will shortly be on-line and in
need of correction and updating by people from each country. Would you
please tell us your thoughts about how well the UK laws and policies on
employee ownership work in relation to their stated goals, or in relation
to the goals you believe they should have.
