Occupation of factories

Occupation of factories refers to the process of workers taking control of manufacturing facilities to operate them directly, often during times of social or political upheaval. This can involve workers managing production, maintaining equipment, and making decisions previously handled by owners or managers. The goal may be to improve working conditions, secure fair wages, or challenge existing economic systems. Factory occupations can serve as protests or activism, demonstrating workers’ rights and empowering employees to have a say in their workplace. It’s a form of collective action aimed at reclaiming control over industry and labor.
