Documentary

In the province of Neuquén, in Argentine Patagonia, workers at the Zanon ceramics factory opposed their employer's layoff plan, which included laying off more than half of their workforce to avoid permanent closure due to the crisis. In October 2001, the workers took over the factory and have since continued production without a boss. They thus demonstrated that it is possible, in times of crisis, to offer work to others and contribute to the continued solidarity of society when the State fails to provide solutions.
