Workers' Control

La Venezuela del pueblo. Control obrero, cooperativas y comunas.

Los análisis sobre Venezuela se suelen concentrar en las políticas de gobierno y –hasta el 2013 – en la igura de Chávez. Hasta la mayoría de los autores que apoyan el proceso bolivariano han prestado poca atención a la construcción popular desde abajo. En este artículo se analizan la dinámica del movimiento para el control obrero, las cooperativas y su conexión con las Comunas como forma avanzada de autogobierno local.

Self-Organised Workers’ Struggles in the Twenty-First Century

The Class Strikes Back

The Class Strikes Back

The Class Strikes Back examines a number of radical, twenty-first-century workers’ struggles. These struggles are characterised by a different kind of unionism and solidarity, arising out of new kinds of labour conditions and responsive to new kinds of social and economic marginalisation. The essays in the collection demonstrate the dramatic growth of syndicalist and autonomist formations and argue for their historical necessity.

Control Obrero

Esta semana recuperamos una entrevista de archivo, realizada hará cosa de un año en Berlín, al compañero Darío Azzellini, sociólogo y documentalista del control obrero, la autogestión y los consejos comunales -especialmente en América Latina.

"La democracia no puede ser democracia si es cosmopolita", dice este experimentado investigador y viejo militante. Efectivamente, y dado que no existen dos comunidades idénticas, los procedimientos de organización y de acción colectivas han de ser diferentes.

Bu kitap, işçilerin işyerlerinde süreklilik ve öngörülebilirliği sağlayarak katılımcı demokrasinin anlatımı üzerinden kendi topluluklarını stabilize edebileceğini göstermektedir.

Workers Control From the Commune to the Present

Ours To Master and To Own

Ours To Master and To Own

From the dawning of the industrial epoch, wage earners have organized themselves into unions, fought bitter strikes, and gone so far as to challenge the very premises of the sytem by creating institutions of democratic self-management aimed at controlling production without bosses. With specific examples drawn from every corner of the globe and every period of modern history, this pathbreaking volume comprehensively traces this often underappreciated historical tradition.

Geçem sayıda Arjantin´e uzanmış, işgal fabrikalarının esinlendirici öyküsünü  aktarmıştık. Şimdi, önce 1840'lardan günümüze işçi konseyleri ve işçi özyönetimlerine gidiyoruz, ardından günümüz işgal fabrikalarındaki son duruma bakıyoruz.

Jak pracownicy przejmują kontrolę w dobie kryzysu kapitalizmu

W lutym 2016 roku kilkunastu byłych pracowników zakładu obróbki drewna w niewielkiej greckiej miejscowości Patrida, około 60 kilometrów od Salonik, powiedziało „Dość!”. Od 2008 roku byli oszukiwani przez właścicieli. Obiecując rychłą wypłatę, szefowie nie wypłacali pracownikom pełnej pensji, zredukowali godziny pracy i ogłosili upadłość firmy – nie informując o tym oficjalnie. Sytuacja nie poprawiła się, a pracownicy nigdy nie ujrzeli swoich pieniędzy. W grudniu 2015 roku zakład został zamknięty.

Despite this, the movement for workers’ control in Venezuela has grown in recent years and achieved some important victories in conflicts in state companies.
