title: FIGHTING THE SPROCKET - MAINTENANCE WORKER

subject date: 2004-05-25

caption: HISTORY OF THE WORKERS' MOVEMENT Worker responsible for maintaining the casting machinery: suggestive frontal portrait in the workshop, poised, climbing between the machines (rear view in 27570). When the owners decided to fire everyone and shut down the plant, work continued in self-management for a long period, from November '53 to January '54, to remove the specter of unemployment for 1,750 workers. The agitation garnered widespread solidarity, and the dispute ended with Eni's acquisition of the foundry decommissioned by Snia Viscosa.
