Triumph over Brukman

After struggling for one and a half years, the textile factory Brukman was disowned by the legislature in Buenos Aires. The project of the workers was completed after the enterpreneur went bankrupt and the factory was handed over to the cooperative founded by the workers.

The workers occupied the factory building on the 18th of decembre 2001 after a secret strike of the employer and a day before the day , which started to change the history of the country.
The workers are predominantly female who show how to minimise unemployement , who positioned themselves against the brutal oppression by being a dignified example and then the workers of Brukman became a symbol for Argentinga and the world-

They resisted three eviction attempts, the first two were stopped by demonstrations and the latest a brutal oppression of more than 10 000 unemployed comrades, members of assemblies and workers , who mobilised to support the workers. The last attack unleashed a struggle with massive demonstrations, road blockades, "maquinazos" and cultural activities.
