IT IS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT EMPLOYEE-OWNED ENTERPRISES








MOSCOW, March 5, RIA Novosti correspondent Nikolai Makarov - The Left-Democratic Movement Rossiya (Russia) attaches great  importance to the development and support of employee-owned  enterprises in the country, said Chairman of the State Duma (the Lower House of the Russian Parliament) Gennady Seleznev,  addressing the scientific-practical seminar "Employee-Owned Enterprises in Russia."  Gennady Seleznev pointed out that employee-owned  enterprises, established through their corporatisation by work collectives, embody "the ideas of industrial democracy and  contribute to the achievement of the balance of the working people's social rights and economic interests."  According to Gennady Seleznev, "the development of  employee-owned enterprises in our country is not going on  smoothly. They come across tremendous difficulties." Nevertheless he  expressed the hope that "the ideas and principles of industrial self-government will find their place in the Russian economy." -O-   (kos/kaf)
