The work is central in the SCOP value skills are paid to the market price

Released mid-May to the President of the Republic, the Jean-Philippe Cotis report on the share of value added shows that, on average, companies distribute their result to 57 for investment, 36 for shareholders and 7 for the employees. Beyond the disparity of situations between large companies and SMEs - TPE, this state of affairs demonstrates all the way to rebalance the situation for the benefit of the employees, in the continuity of the proposal of the President of the Republic to reach a distribution into thirds between the company, shareholders and employees. Rightly, commentators wondered how to achieve better benefit the employees of the wealth created by the company without putting at risk the investments. This is what demonstrate cooperative and participatory societies, the SCOP, by bringing their employees of a substantial share of the wealth produced without that this redistribution detrimental to investment and therefore to the sustainability of jobs. Thus, some 2,000 SCOP, all sectors and all sizes, produce a result that is improving from year to year, reaching an average of 7,000 euros per employee in 2007. Very long time, almost all of the SCOP practice the distribution of the results in three third party between the company, employees and Associates, in SCOP, are mostly the employees themselves. Average national, the SCOP distribute 15 dividends results to partners who have dominated the double status of associate employee, 40 feed consolidation of own funds and investments and 45 of the results return to employees in the combined form of engagement and participation. This socially responsible practice of the SCOP rebalances the relationship between capital, labour and entrepreneurship, which is a tremendous lever of economic dynamism as in ten years, the overall turnover of the SCOP increased by 82, their added value of 88 and their own funds to 78. This strong increase economic results and to employees in the SCOP redistribution does not operate so far over wages. While the report tax shows that average wages represent France 67 of the value added, this share reached 76 in the SCOP. This important part of the wages reflects of course the SCOP operate in trades of workforce, but also very concrete of the central place of the work value and men in the economic and social of the SCOP project, demonstrates both present in the construction industry as in the industry or the services. In the last decade, the value added of the SCOP, therefore their economic performance, has increased substantially while wages have declined or stagnated, on the contrary: between 1997 and 2007, the wage of the SCOP grew by 67, reflecting a dual phenomenon of job creation ( 34 of the salaried workforce of the SCOP in ten years), but also a substantial increase in wages all categories of qualification. As such, it is worth to remind that the SCOP, as many SME and VSE, do not practice the stock for their leaders and other retreats particularly excessive hats. The work is central in the SCOP value, skills are paid to the market price. This issue of good governance is controlled by the boards of Directors, essentially composed of employees elected by general meeting of shareholders. For already more than 50 years, General de Gaulle launched, including the instigation and with the support of leaders of cooperatives, the debate on the return to the employees of the fruits of the wealth created by the company. Despite the first orders on the award in 1959 and on participation in 1967 and many laws since, including very recently with the law on labour income, debate on the Division of the added value and profits keeps all its news, as illustrated again the Cotis report requested in the Insee by the President of the Republic. For their part, the SCOP are evidence of the effectiveness of their entrepreneurial model which puts employees at the heart of their project and manages to reconcile economic efficiency and share fair of the wealth created by the undertaking economic and social.
