Milwaukee and Philadelphia, Dec. 19, 2003 -- Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN), a global

The Right board of directors has unanimously voted to recommend that Right
shareholders accept the offer, in which Manpower will exchange between 0.3680
and 0.4497 of a share of Manpower common stock for each outstanding share of
Right common stock that is validly tendered and not withdrawn. If the Manpower

share, Manpower, at its option, may increase the exchange rate above 0.4497 of a
share of Manpower common stock. If Manpower chooses not to exercise this option,
Right has the right to terminate the merger agreement.

The offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 12:00 Midnight Eastern Standard
