THE EUROPEAN Parliament is expected to generate much specious heat this summer over the right of employees to information and participation in decision-making. The subject has engaged the EEC's attention intermittently for the past 12 years and I suspect that it will still be doing so in 1994.
The Continental two-tier system of an executive management board and a supervisory board representing workers and shareholders is admitted by the European Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee to be impossible to impose at present. So how would it be if individual countries were allowed to continue to run companies in ways that suit them best without nit-picking interference from Brussels, Strasbourg or Luxembourg?
Meanwhile, the National Freight Consortium may offer the EEC something to think about in terms of managementworker co-operation without tiers or tears.
