title: TO SCRAMBLE UP BETWEEN THE MACHINERY

subject date: 2004-05-25

caption: PROFESSIONS Worker responsible for maintaining the smelting machinery in occupied Pignone: suggestive rear portrait in the workshop, poised, climbing between the machines (front view in 17324). 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.
