Faced with pay cuts and redundancies - and then no pay at all - the Zanon workers occupied and began to run the factory. The factory remains a beacon to all those who struggle in Argentina and around the world - to show another way of working and of living our lives. With no bosses, the workers themselves make all important decisions by general assembly, everyone receives the same salary and committees take responsibility for sales, administration and other running concerns.

Despite several attemped evictions, the workers - supported by their local community and allies - have held out and even managed to dramatically increase production, sales and jobs. Alongside all this they publish Nuestra Lucha (Our Struggle), a newspaper of the occupeid factories and workers in struggle, and play a keey role in uniting and providing a political direction to the occupied workplaces, worker, indigenous and unemployed movements.

The visit is being hosted by the Argentina Solidarity Campaign and No Sweat
