Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In a large factory in Milan in the mid70s, a few dozen workers organized themselves against both the management and the unions in an autonomous Workers Political Committee. Soon, this "Red Guard" consisted of hundreds of workers fighting against layoffs and relocation. The Committee did not stay shut up within the walls of the factory. It participated in numerous other struggles, such as strikes and demonstrations, which were raging across the whole of Italy. Crucially, it took part in attempts to unify the movement of workers committees on a regional level. And it also participated in the radical struggle against inflation, where workers refused to pay ever increasing prices. This movement of autoreduction famously inspired Dario Fos play Cant Pay? Wont Pay!Magneti Marelli was not the only factory in Italy to create autonomous workers organizations, but its Committee served as a reference for all the others because of its bold initiatives and its capacity to help workers in the surrounding smaller workplaces to benefit from its experience. Its exemplary fight was a vital part of the revolutionary struggle in Italy during the hot decade 19681979, and one that still contains important lessons for class struggle militants today.
