"Who's winning?" "We struck for half an hour today because of noise." " Because of what?" " Noise." "The machines make an awful racket." "This morning I was in the john..." "Suddenly I had enough!" "So I talked to the guys." "I told them we can't go on like that." "Those machines, non-stop, day in day out." "So we decided to strike for half an hour." "The guys elected me to inform the union." "I went and told them:" ""okay, we're going to stop at 12:40."" "So they went to the boss." "We came along to back them up."

"That's a big bore, isn't it?" "After 2 months in the shipyards, I'd rather canvas." "Jobs are scarce in St. Nazaire." "How are you doing?" "okay." "Before I left here, I'd worked already, 3 weeks' training in a bank." "Then I went to Paris." "Since then, I've been doing all right." "I found a room." "So you're fed up, eh?" "You should come to Paris." "If you come, you can stay with me for a while." "You can stay till you get work." "okay?" "Maybe it'll be hard to find work." "will it take long or not?"

"If you don't find work very soon," "I'll have to turn you out." "Make up your mind." "Don't be an idiot." "If you don't take the job, the next guy will." "Want me to help?" "All right." "Put the laundry in the machine." "Shut the door." "Push the button." "Got colors?" " Colors?" "Yes." " This button." "For the soap, take 3 measures." "Use 20-centime pieces." "Three of them." "Take a cup." "Put your coin in." "Wait..." "It holds 2 measures." " Got 4 one-franc pieces?" " I think so." "Put them in." "It clicks on." "Doesn't it work?" "Yes, it does!" "That makes two..." "Four." "It went in wrong." "okay?" "You're sure out of luck!" "Doesn't it work?" " Is it broken?" " call the manager." "No, because it really ought to work." "Let's call the manager." "The door isn't shut." "When the red light goes off, you take out your laundry." "Smoke?" "No, thanks." "You a student?" "Not at all." "I came to Paris to get work." "What kind?"

"okay?" "I'll write down my address." "I'm in front of this machine, see, a press." "I've got 2 buttons like this." "I push them, the press goes down." "I take the sheet metal." "I put it on the mold." "I push the buttons." "I take it out, lay it aside, I take another, push the buttons." "I take another, and so on." "Then there's the noise, see." "It's a kind of roaring." "When I first got there, you know," "I wanted to wreck the place, it was so noisy... so noisy..." "I wasn't myself any more, just a machine." "I got used to it like anyone else." "All us guys are like that..." "You make the same movement 3500 times!" "Anyway, I got no choice." "I'm ready to take anything." "And you can't talk, see." "You got no one to talk to." "There's 6 of us to a press..." "A Spanish guy, a Portuguese, a Yugoslav, an Arab... and another guy." "There we are." "We can't talk." "We don't talk the same lingo." "That's so we can't communicate, so we won't be distracted, see." "on with the feed-bag!" "Spaghetti is great!" "Isn't it great?" "Got enough?" "You don't eat much." "Watch what Zim puts away!" " Is it okay?" " A little peppery..." "You see!" "I see some dolls here." "Did you make them?" " And the drawings?" " No, not the drawings." "I take care of kids, see..." "Shoes off!" "Strip to the waist!" "Loukriss!" "Allah!" "Hold the weights out, at arms length." "Very good." "Igor!" "Cover your right eye." "D..." " I can't read." " Then go to the other side." "R..." "No, B... sorry." "C..." "All right, go to the other side." "Cover your right eye." " R, T, R..." " The other eye." "T..." "D..." "S..." "Very good." "Cover your right eye." "Put them down."

" B..." " All right." "A..." "Z..." "E..." "That's all wrong." "Can't you read?" " No, I can't." " other side!" "Do you know why I called you in here?" "You argued with your foreman, right?" "He came to ask you about your work." "You insulted him." "What happened?" "I don't understand, I just don't." "You've no cause to be discontented." "You were hired in..." "In November 1969." "In February 1970, you got a raise." "For defiance, the foreman wants you docked 2 days." "tell us what happened." "We can't let workers insult foremen." "If the 10,000 workers here all took liberties, how could we run the factory?" "We have to put you in another section." "You still won't explain you behavior?" "You won't answer?" "I'll tell you what happened." "Yesterday you made 2520 forms instead of 3120." "Your foreman asked you why." "Your only reply was insults." "It's inexcusable." "You not only fail to do your quota, you even insult your foreman." "Go back to your press." "You'll hear from us." "Careful of your hands, watch your step." "You need your hands to work with." "Careful of your superiors, careful of your quota." "Smile at your superiors till vacation comes." "Careful every second, careful to stay alive." "Every second you risk losing your head." "You bend under the load, crushed and weary and scared." "The rat had me docked 2 days!" "My press broke down at 10 a. m." "I told my foreman." "He said all right, he'd come." "I go to the office, tell him again." "He says he's coming." "I wait over an hour for the repairman." "At 3 p. m." "I show my quota." "He says I'm way under." "I say I was held up over an hour." "I couldn't make the quota." "He calls me a loafer, a shirker..." "We call each other names." "He says, okay go to the office." "The office docks me 2 days." "They say insulting a foreman is inexcusable." "I was docked 2 days." "You call the foreman a rat." "The foreman..." "He's only a product of society." "He's nothing more." "Even with his faults... he's only a tool." "The boss uses him to exploit us." "our real enemies are higher up..." "The owners, the bosses." "I see the foreman, I don't know the boss." "What can I do?" "You and me alone, we can't do a thing." "We have to unite." "We have to unite to accomplish anything." "We work for the boss." "We fill his pockets with money." "But if we stop working..." "If we stop, the boss is ruined." "our strength is in numbers." "We must mass together." "If we are to use our strength, we all have to act together." "We have to organize." "But unions already exist." "I know they do." "And it's a good thing." "But the way the unions act... and what they represent..." "They tend to keep things as they are." "Now their aim..." "Their aim is small reforms." "Are you against reform?" "Not at all!" "I'm not against reform." "But... wait a minute..." "Please... the book on Lenin." "We must support any genuine improvement of the people's economic and political condition." "The way reformists differ from us is not that they want reform and we do not." "But they are content with reforms." "All they do is keep sick capitalism alive." "often conditions in middle-class democracy force us to oppose many miniscule reforms." "But we must be ready to support reforms:" "If each of us speaks for half an hour, we must give 5 minutes to reform and 25 minutes to the coming revolution." "We've been talking..." "We've had the 5 minutes." "Now where are the other 25?" "You drag along at the factory waiting for evening." "When all of you get off work, there's a surge of hope." "Conditioned like a robot under the boss's eye." "You stick with it:" "skipping work is costly." "You become an empty shell as the years pass." "So much energy spent just to end up a wreck." "You bend under the load, crushed and weary and scared." "factory occupation" "What was the highest point reached by the resistance in the last 1 o years?" "To answer that, let's quote what many comrades say:" ""An irresistible upsurge of the national spirit," ""capable of enduring the executions," ""repression," ""tortures," ""and traps of the system. "" "To give a few examples, let's recall the most important demonstration:" "when the factories were occupied." "Cirillo Ramallo describes one of the first occupations," "at the steel mill SIAM DE MoNTECHINGoLo... occupation caused 30o comrades to be fired." "What action was taken to defend the mill?" "We resorted to any action at all likely... to guarantee that the police would not evacuate us." "Meanwhile we maintained normal production so as to avoid trouble." "We kept gasoline supplies stored in various places as well as fire extinguishers to be used in case of police attack." "Rudy Taborda... talks about the first occupation of a large factory run by the workers," "LA BERNALESA... our region became known for the large number of factories occupied, including ours." "But in this case, it made history." "It was a unique event because for the first time a textile mill was managed by the workers." "For the first time, we were the bosses, with absolute control of a mill." "For 30 years, our comrades had been exploited... held down by owners and bosses." "We had a twofold responsibility:" "we had to show both owners and government that we were able to run production, able to work, and at the same time, manage our own production." "Were we to show them that we could only produce, that we had to leave management to them?" "No, we had to succeed in doing both." "We did pretty well, I think." "For example, our textiles were better in quality than those produced before." "This proved that when we managed the mill for 13 days, we were able to achieve textiles of a far superior quality." "Another important fact was employee participation." "Not one failed to join us." "An extraordinary event..." "For the first time," "20oo workers managed production unassisted." "For the first time, they saw they can do as well or better than those who have always exploited them." "They realized their own capacities... their own possibilities." "The truth is that most of us can't read or write." "We grew up in the worst sort of poverty." "We began working as kids." "We had no chance to learn to read and write." "Me, I've held all kinds of jobs." "I'm not ashamed to say it:" "I've had to beg for bread." "Then when I was 17" "I came to Buenos Aires to earn a living." "That was before october 17... when General Peron appeared." "I wasn't the only one arriving from the country." "We arrived in droves." "We had no inkling of social legislation." "Back in the country we had no guarantees." "I ran from that scene of total misery." "Like so many Argentinians," "I came to the capital." "But the unions were poorly organized." "There were lots of problems, but even that was better than poverty in the country." "one afternoon we saw the Minister of Justice arrive." "We came out to meet him." "He told us that we had to evacuate the factory because we had... taken possession... of private property." "I said, "What?" "You're Minister of Justice?" ""Is firing 30o workers your idea of justice?"" "He replied that he was Minister of Justice, not of Labor." "He said it was the union's problem." "So I told him that in that case, he had no business in the factory." "But he kept demanding we evacuate." "He said he had 150 policemen ready to use force." "I told him that 150 policemen weren't enough." "He would have to call out the army." "That left him flabbergasted." "I also said that if he forced us out, we would blow the place up." "I showed him our gasoline dump." "It was ready for any emergency, for any attack." "As a representative of the government, he had the police and the bosses behind him." "But I had all my fellow workers behind me." "We could withstand any attack." "occupation is an act of violence." "It disalienates." "It clears the workers' minds of a Iong history of myths, snares and oppression." "Thanks to occupation, the worker hastens his own liberation." "He rediscovers his own working spirit." "He reconquers his own birthright." "We've just seen a film about occupying factories." "This phenomenon is spreading more every day in France and abroad." "It'd be interesting to begin discussion by trying to determine what occupation is worth and what it means." "The best thing about occupation is that it educates the workers politically." "It fosters their political education, constant mobilization and, if need be, the defense of the factory." "It's much better than when the factory's closed, with the workers at home, disunited." "The way I saw it in May '68..." "My factory, all factories then, were on strike." "occupation occurred because the workers felt better together." "If they stay home the management puts pressure on them at their expense." "But with occupation, it's much harder." "The owner hesitates sending the cops in." "He risks destroying his profit and his factory." "We united and occupied the factory." "We created a strike committee." "What did this committee talk about?" "How to organize pickets and ping-pong games." "That's all it achieved." "our success owed little to the committee." "So that was a mistake because there was really nothing to keep them there." "Things gradually got worse." "So we should insist on this fact:" "occupation must strengthen and unite workers." "It must make them more aware of their class, more aware politically, so we can advance in the struggle." "From it the worker learns." "It makes him aware of many things." "Not much, precisely because the strike is organized." "We should study how to go about a strike." "occupation is aII-important." "It must be achieved." "How is a strike committee set up?" "How is it organized?" "I think a strike with factory occupation like in France in May '68, leads to new phases in the class war." "Strikes aren't always necessary." "Take FIAT in Turin, for example." "The workers aren't on strike." "They slow down the production rate." "It's rather amusing." "They make a simple deduction:" "If they lose 7 centimes on their daily quota the boss loses a fortune every day." "That's how they "strike"." "It isn't a real strike." "They can't lock them out or appeal to the Ministry of Labor." "Yet production is slowed down." "It's a good strategy." "It's a very important tactic at this time." "It involves working conditions." "It deals a direct blow to the wage system which is based on rank, quotas, etc." "So it's not occupation with a real strike, with production halted, then resumed." "It's action within the factory." "They set their own pace." "They take no notice of quotas or speed." "The main thing to decide is whether factory occupation, whether taking over production, really gets the owners out or not." "If so, factories can easily be occupied without a party or union without basic organization, without committees." "So we occupy a factory, as if it belongs to us, because it actually does, and the owners get out." "That would be ideal." "A strike won't get the owners out." "They won't just leave." "They'll have to be kicked out." "They'll hold on as long as they can." "That's why we must organize, not just in one factory here or there." "The middle class is powerful, well organized." "We have to be even more so." "We can't get the bourgeois out one by one." "We'll get them out all at once." "That'll happen when we're able to take their wealth and weapons to destroy their legislation and power." "That idea must dominate strikes and occupation, the idea that the working class will take over." "You can't spend your life in shipyards." "Conditions there are pretty bad." "So you work your 8 hours..." "Are the workers organized there?" "Do you mean unions?" "There are unions at St. Nazaire." "Every year there's a strike." "And it's always justified." "Are they active?" "Yes, but they only ask for raises." "They never improve working conditions." "The same old story." "You see a potential force." "There are 10,000 workers there." "That terrific force is not put to use." "They always haggle over money, that's all." "That's important too." "But as for improving conditions..." "Yeah, so you get a raise." "You get, say, 50 francs, but prices go up 50 francs." " The same fight each year." " That's a good start." "Every year you fight for 50 francs again." "Always fighting for 50 francs does no good." "Working conditions never change." "At 65 you retire with one foot in the grave." "That's not normal." "What's more, the work's dangerous." "Every month someone's killed in the shipyards." "You work for others all your life." "In the process... you lose a hand." "That's no life." "The bourgeoisie forges its own death weapon." "It forges the men who will deal the blow, the working class, today's proletarians." "The bourgeoisie does grow, that is, capital grows." "But the workers grow too." "Workers survive only if they find work." "They find work only if it increases capital." "The workers are forced to sell themselves." "They're just goods, merchandise." "They're exposed to the risks of competition." "They suffer from market slumps." "Machines and assembly lines have deprived the worker of all sense of independence." "His work can't interest him." "He's only an accessory to the machine." "His work is over-simplified, monotonous, easily learned." "The cost of the worker amounts to the cost of keeping him alive and making sure he has children." "our committee has 2 lawyers." "They donate their services." "We distributed the circulars." "But to give the address of the meeting was uncautious." "Better to print a new circular to let our comrades know." "They can contact the distributors who'll act as go-betweens." "What do you think?" "I'm for it." "I think it must be done." "A Portuguese worker came to me." "It's about his work permit." "I think we should continue distributing texts on labor legislation so the guys'll know their rights." "Do we print 2 circulars?" "or do we put lawyers and rights in one?" "Better print 2 circulars." "Let's keep each problem separate." "okay, but we can't do everything." "We struck for 2 hours yesterday because a comrade was fired." "So they transferred 2 more comrades." "Quotas were raised 3 times since vacation." "To keep up, he put matches in the safety system." "So they fired him." "our action should be devoted to that today." "We all agree." "How shall we word it?" "I think it must be explained:" "He was fired for blocking the safety system." "He did it because quotas were raised." "We must make the guys see that it was for the quotas and the boss." "Who will word it?" "Who will write it?" "I will." "We'll do it together." "I'll help too." "Then it has to be typed." "I'll type it." " You'll translate it into Spanish?" " As usual." "How's it going?" "We must... unite... to fight... the quotas." "Masses of workers are organized like soldiers." "These soldiers of industry fit into a hierarchy complete with soldiers." "They are not just slaves of the middle class and of its state." "All day long they are also slaves to machines, to foremen, and especially to the manufacturer." "The more this tyranny strives for profit the more abject and exasperating it is." "30o miles away at St. Nazaire," "See the free sound-and-light show," "Pockets empty before pay-day," "And not very full afterward!" "Meanwhile the owners" "Dine at La Baule for 20o francs."
