Dear All,
I posted this to one list - it's based partially on a local issue but deals with the issue of worker-buyouts. It's part of a discussion I'm trying to get started locally after I discovered that some comrades cannot distinguish between worker-owned enterprises which are self-managed collectives and buy-outs retaining the capitalist model. I am wondering whether buy-outs can be successfully transformed into self-managed industries closely approximating a democratic cooperative or whether that's just wishful thinking. Any ideas or experience? Much appreciated. Laure

PS: The follow-up is that I heard that the majority stake in Uniontex was sold to an Australian company and that they want to move some production to Ukraine.
no one will read badly formatted c+ps. You need to summarise the article and link to it.
