Labor Digest

  • Good unions stories from Mexico
  • Workers Occupy and take the factory to the ultimate place we want
  • To go on strike is to occupy the factory with the flags of Black and Red.
  • Continental Tires,  Stephen mistakenly says Cooper Tires
  • The strike was for three years, and the local labor board supported it…which means the company is responsibly for the back from when the strike started.
  • The Company basically gave them the factory with the hopes that they would fail
  • The workers own half of the factory the other side is sales something that the workers do not have experience but want to eventually own it all.
  • They did not fail, but how does the coop run?
