Presentation of "An Alternative Labour History: Worker Control and Workplace Democracy" (Zed Books) edited by Dario Azzellini. The global financial crisis has led to radical forms of protest and new workers’ takeovers have sprung up all over the globe. In the US, Republic Windows and Doors started production under worker control in January 2013. Later that year workers in Greece took over and managed a hotel, a hospital, a newspaper, a TV channel and a factory. The dominant revolutionary left has viewed workers' control as part of a system necessary during a transition to socialism.

With Marina Sitrin and Dario Azzellini

Την ίδια στιγμή που ο Ούγο Τσάβες εδραίωνε την ηγεμονία του στη Βενεζουέλα, οι κάτοικοι των λαϊκών συνοικιών είχαν εκπονήσει ένα σχέδιο αντικατάστασης του κράτους με μια ομοσπονδία των οριζόντιων δομών μέσα απο τις οποίες αυτοοργανώνουν τις ανάγκες τους.
