We hope that food will be available.
The Zanon tile factory in Neuquen is one of many 'recovered' factories in Argentina -- factories taken over and run by the workers.
Faced first with pay cuts and redundancies -- and then no pay at all -- the Zanon workers occupied and began to run the factory. They are coming to Britain to discuss their experience with activists here.
The factory has been occupied and running as a workers' co-operative since 2001. For a full-length briefing see:
