Topic: Recovered factory

	[No title]
		Factories “recovered” by their workers are a response to two decades of neoliberalism and deindustrialization.
		Seven of every ten factories were recovered only after fierce struggles--physical takeovers in nearly half the cases and “acampadas en la puerta” (prolonged sit-ins at factory gates) in 24% of the cases.
		Despite the intense and often exhausting battles fought to gain control of the factory, workplaces where highly combative struggles were waged have been the most successful--an average of 70% of the output capacity is being used in these factories compared with 36% in those with a low degree of conflict.

	FaSinPat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		FaSinPat, formerly known as Zanon, is a worker-controlled ceramic tile factory in the southern Argentine province of Neuquén, and one of the most prominent in the recovered factory movement of Argentina.
		The factory, formerly known as Zanon, was opened in the early 1980s by Luigi Zanon, while Argentina was a ruled by a dictatorship.
		The increased labour militancy led to serious conflict with the factory owner, who started firing workers until he decided eventually to shut down the factory in 2001 in the hope of hiring a more docile workforce in the future.

	americas.org - THE NEW RESISTANCE IN ARGENTINA Workers Defend "Recovered Factories" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Referred to as occupied or recuperated factories, worker-run factories, grass-roots cooperatives, factories under worker control, self-organized and self-managed factories or democratic workplaces, the recovered factories of Argentina are a concrete economic alternative to corporate capitalism.
		Though unique circumstances surround each case, the dominant pattern within recovered factories is the practice of direct democracy and direct action, with decisions made in a general assembly and each worker having a vote and a voice.
		In this way, the factories were built and run with public funds and on public land, leading workers and community members to consider themselves the subsidizers of the factories and the machines therein.

	"Occupying, Resisting, Producing" Argentine Workers Take Over Abandoned Factories by Andres Gaudin
		As of October 2003, about 140 factories had been or were in the process of being "recovered," and about 12,000 workers had used this strategy to keep their jobs, according to a study by the University of Buenos Aires.
		Nonetheless, the recovered enterprises are not in danger of failing; and if any of them do fail, it will not be for the workers' lack of ability, but because of potential legal decisions that could hand the factories and machinery back to the failed owners.
		Workers in recovered factories speak proudly, but not ideologically, of having been able to restart their factories and keep their jobs after the flight of the owners.

		The "recovered factory" movement began in later 2001, when the economy was slowing to a halt and millions of workers massed in the streets to prevent the imposition of martial law.
		In this way was born a movement of recovered factories that already counts more than 200 members, from small cooperatives like the bread-stick maker Grissinopoli to mid- and large-sized factories like ceramic producer Zanon and the metallurgical plant IMPA.
		Solidarity ties within each factory, among different ones, and with the community are the keys to the survival of the movement.

	Factory Information
		Before the advent of mass transportation, factories' needs for ever-greater concentrations of workers meant that they typically grew up in an urban setting or fostered their own urbanisation.
		Industrial slums developed, and re-enforced their own development through the interactions between factories, as when one factory's output or waste-product became the raw materials of another factory (preferably nearby).
		Though factories dominated the Industrial Era, the growth in the service sector eventually began to dethrone them: the locus of work in general shifted to central-city office towers or to semi-rural campus-style establishments, and many factories stood deserted in local rust belts.

		The high frequency of plaster washed mortar recovered from both interior and exterior sides of these foundation walls suggest the dormitories were frequently whitewashed, probably to improve the general cleanliness of this penal station.
		Archaeological evidence for floorboards was also recovered, in the form of three sandstone support tiers, two running parallel to both dormitory foundation walls, and one midway through the structure.
		Ceramic and glass artifacts recovered from the Hiring and Crime Class Dormitories were predominantly tiny fragments of cheap, mass produced plates, cups and bottles, often the slightly defective factory "seconds" shipped-out from England for use in Van Diemen's Land convict establishments.

		One of the first speakers at the gathering was Eduardo Murua, president of the Argentinean “Movement of Recovered Companies -- MNER.” He explained the experience of factory occupations in Argentina as an alternative in the struggle against unemployment and the destruction of jobs.
		Iglesias said that when workers occupy factories that have been abandoned and try to restart production, this should not be seen “as a problem but rather as a solution to a problem” caused by the bosses closing down these companies.
		Dozens queued to explain the struggle in their factories, the problems they faced from directors in the public sector when trying to implement different forms of workers’ management, the plans they had to take over factories left idle by the bosses, etc.

	Creating a Class Factory with C# and .NET - The Code Project - Design and Strategy
		In an abstract factory, it is neccesary to create concrete classes and factories to perform your class creation, which also requires some prior knowledge at some level of the classes that need to be created.
		The class factory could even be extended to allow dynamic discovery of remote services, such as web services, remoting objects, etc. There are no required base abstract classes, so any class anywhere can become a product of the class factory, making it very flexible, and 100% dynamic.
		Class Factories can be used as the core element of a plugin system for an application, too (see http://www.datgen.info/ for a practical example of a program I've written that makes use of class factories for the programs plugin and dynamic type system).
