Introduction:
In the Argentine Republic a very particular phenomenon is taking place: that of the factories recovered by the workers and put back into operation.
Many companies in Argentina were taken over by the workers and put into production, forming a real movement that begins to coordinate with other sectors in search of solutions to the problems that plague our country.
The decision to start producing came after a long maturation process for all the workers. Although at first it would seem that taking over a factory for ex-employees is an isolated and outlawed case, we must bear in mind that our country is experiencing a harsh crisis caused by the neoliberal model. This promoted policies in which financial-speculative investment prevailed to the detriment of productive investment. This fell dramatically and caused, by massive imports, a profound destruction of the national productive apparatus, increasing unemployment and poverty and indigence rates.
For years, this model produced, among other things, the constitution of monopolies, economic concentration, speculation, the non-strengthening of the national productive apparatus and the absence of policies that promote employment.
Because of this, the living conditions of the population decreased; and by the free trade measures, hundreds of factories closed their doors.
To better graph it, let's say that according to data from the Argentine Central of Workers based on INDEC in 2002, the richest tenth of the population earns 29 times more than the poorest tenth, which implies an increase in the income gap considering that in 1980 this gap was 12.7. The Household Survey, in 2002, places the unemployment rate at 21.5%, an underemployment rate of 18.6% and 18,219,000 people below the poverty level (51.4%) over a total population of 37,000,000.
Considering the recessionary period started in 1998, unemployment has climbed 74.2%, poverty 67% and indigence 180%; all because of the collapse of a neoliberal system that made the country indebted, leading it to one of the largest crises in its history.
Against this background, the idea of the workers occupying and recovering their jobs is highly satisfactory, since the productive apparatus was destroyed when hundreds of sources of work were dismantled by their own owners.
It is very interesting to see how solidarity areas are being generated and common projects are being built with other sectors (neighborhood assemblies, unemployed people, students, etc.)
We have to take into account that this is not a central process in the economic sense, as companies with greater productive importance are not occupied; But it is central in the sense that it indicates to the workers a possible path to follow when the employers decide to leave them on the street.
Workers are realizing the potential that self-management of companies can have, since it gives them the power to make decisions about what and for what will be produced, safeguard and / or increase employment, democratize the social relations of production, etc.
International Historical Notes on worker self-management:
Historically, workers' self-management in the world has met with both partial successes and failures. In more than a century and a half, workers around the world have shown their strength. There are numerous cases of this type of self-management; one, emblematic, is that of the Lipp watch factory in France in 1973 that shocked Europe.
There were other historical cases in which this type of worker self-management venture worked:
1- In Yugoslavia between 1950 and 1973 there were cases of worker self-management promoted by the Yugoslav socialist regime, but they ended up falling due to the pressures of capitalism and its “market reforms” promoted via the IMF.
2- In Chile, under the Allende government (1970-1973), more than 125 factories were run by workers, but this collapsed due to the coup d'etat promoted by the United States who imposed the dictator Pinochet.
3- In Bolivia in 1952, when there was a popular revolution, the self-management system for workers was promoted (especially in the mining sector). But in 1964 a coup d'état led to the military occupation of the mines and, although there were negotiations, the workers gradually lost power.
4- In 1967 in Peru a group of nationalist officers took power and promoted a regime of cooperatives and industrial communities. This did not prosper due to conflicts with the workers and finally, under neoliberal rules, factories were re-privatized and progressive labor legislation was repealed.
5- The case of Brazil is very important because there are currently more than 200 companies recovered by workers. The first experience was created in 1991 at the Calzados Makerli factory. In 1994 ANTEAG (National Association of Workers in Self-managed Companies) was created with the aim of coordinating the various ventures that were appearing as a result of the industry crisis. It has offices in six states that are in charge of accompanying self-management projects seeking integration with NGOs, state and municipal governments.
For ANTEAG, self-management is an organizational model that combines collective ownership of the means of production with participation and democracy in management. This also implies autonomy in the decisions and control of the companies.
These different examples can be very useful to us and lead us to some considerations:
A- The success of previous factories managed by workers had as pillars horizontal structures based on popular assemblies.
B- The context for the growth of these movements is given under specific conditions.
C- The nationalization of companies without taking workers into account generates corruption, marginalizes them from the spaces of power and the benefits obtained by them may be reduced. And if the bureaucrats in charge generate mismanagement, it may lead to possible bankruptcy and lead to the request for the privatization of these companies.
D- The success of the self-managed worker sector depends on the extension of alliances to other strategic sectors.
E- The workers must take into account that the sectors of economic-financial power will act influencing the state, and if it takes the side of the workers, they will systematically attack it to stop supporting the labor movement.
National Historical Notes on the relationship of workers with the State:
In our country, the link between workers and the State has always been difficult.
The labor movement has always fought for conquests that correspond to its interests, but only at a moment in history was it able to become strong enough to gain power and to achieve its demands.
This fundamental moment was when Perón took charge of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. From the beginning of his administration (1943-1945) he invited the union leaders to participate in the creation and elaboration of the new social laws; laws that brought about great changes long awaited by the working class. The same working class that will help him succeed in the 1946 elections, after the formation of the Labor Party where the workers achieved a space of power.
At first, the attitude of the workers was expectant regarding the Secretariat that Perón directed. But soon there is a rapprochement due to the first measures promoted by it, which were generating an organized labor movement under new political and union conditions.
Organized worker sectors that supported Perón created the Labor Party to link its action with the general interests of the country and with the norms of a political program.
This program, in which the workers should possess the necessary tools (statutes, laws, etc.) to defend the conquests achieved. Strong and determined attitude led by prominent labor leaders in the face of the possibility that all that was achieved in the event of the return to power of the old electoral parties that never really took care of workers' rights, disappear.
The case of the Labor Party is very important because it was a truly autonomous political organization, with a significant weight at the time and made up entirely of workers.
In this way we will see that a related State could be established with the labor movement but with the will to intervene in its development.
After the fall of the Peronist government in 1955, the workers 'movement gradually lost its social gains, although the struggle was never renounced, as evidenced by the numerous workers' occupations that followed. In the period 1958-1962, with the crisis of the model of capital accumulation by external channels, there was a great wave of claims and takeover of companies.
The level of actions shows the depth and orientation of the political reflections of the time.
In the early 1970s, the cases of the PASA petrochemical company in Rosario and the Mancusso and Rossi litter bin in La Matanza, as well as the occupation and commissioning of the FORD automotive company in Pacheco in 1985, are the immediate antecedents of the process currently in progress.
With this background, we come to the day when workers spend one of the worst moments in their history, paradoxically in the country where there are enough raw materials and everything is to be done.
Current situation:
After that experience and until today, the link between the State and the working mass has been very difficult. However, the workers have continued to have significant achievements; for example:
Certain companies subject to expropriation were declared, this may be total or limited to machinery, equipment, trademarks and patents for a limited time, and given as a loan.
In the area of the Province of Buenos Aires, the state expropriation of several establishments was achieved, as well as the creation by the Governor Felipe Solá of a Productive Fund and the Directorate of the Recovery Plan for Companies in Crisis belonging to the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Production.
In the Legislature of the Province of Buenos Aires several expropriation projects and some projects of general scope are being treated to regulate this problem. One of the most widely accepted by all sectors is the creation of a Trust Fund that would aim to finance the recovery or maintenance of jobs in crisis.
From the workers' side there is still debate on various issues, such as: the form of organization that busy companies must have and the type of management that they must assume.
This has given rise to several conflicting positions, both union and political, such as those that promote the functioning as cooperatives (Impa, Ghelco, Chilavert, La Baskonia, etc.) or those that propose the nationalization of companies under workers control (Brukman, Zanon, Junin Clinic, etc.).
Supporters of forming cooperatives are grouped under the National Movement of Recovered Companies (MNER) and agree to the creation by the State of an initial capital fund to support them.
On the other hand, the companies that propose a pole of Direct Workers' Management (GOD) and the nationalization of these are aligned, mostly with neighborhood assemblies, movements of the unemployed and left-wing parties.
Other points that are being discussed refer to the modality of the possible alliances that would be made with the different political parties, and to what type of level would be covered (local or national).
Until now, the majority opted for the formation of cooperatives, since it seems to be the most rational idea and with the greatest consensus on the part of the State.
Conclusions:
- It is important that all sectors take into account that, said by the workers themselves, the claims arise and are the result of necessity and not of ideology. If this is not made clear, their legitimacy may be lost. The State must rise to the occasion with the workers and maintain a fluid and effective dialogue with them to listen and solve their needs. If this happens, the positions would be able to reach an agreement, and thus a real willingness to start production and therefore bring the country out of the paralysis in which it is immersed would demonstrate.All this movement represents a significant advance in the path of a social economy,a symbol in the face of the impoverishing neoliberal model and an example that emerges from the hands of the workers showing possible ways to recover their source of work and therefore their dignity. All these sectors must have common objectives to release all their energy and all their creativity. Thus, through appropriate regulations, their ventures will be recognized and this will increase their dynamism, and part of the purchasing power of the state may be redirected to the sector. For this, trust in the different sectors and control of funds will be necessary for the development of a true social economy.their ventures will be recognized and this will increase their dynamism, and part of the purchasing power of the state may be redirected to the sector. For this, trust in the different sectors and control of funds will be necessary for the development of a true social economy.their ventures will be recognized and this will increase their dynamism, and part of the purchasing power of the state may be redirected to the sector. For this, trust in the different sectors and control of funds will be necessary for the development of a true social economy.
