Occupation of factories
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Factory occupations)
Occupation of factories is a method of the workers' movement used to prevent lock outs. They may sometimes lead to "recovered factories," in which the workers self-manage the factories. Such methods are a component of insurrectionary strikes in which the aim is to overthrow the current government and/or the economic system of capitalism.
They have been used in many strike actions, including:
- the 1920-22 Biennio rosso (in particular the Turin factory occupation of 1920)
- 1936 French general strike (see 1936 Matignon agreements)
- in the 1970s in Italy (35 days occupation of the Fiat)
- 1973 Uruguayan general strike
- Lip factory in France in 1973
