Mine-Line Worker Occupation: Model for Factory Take-overs?

In August last year management applied for the liquidation of Mine-Line on the West Rand after an accident killing three workers. Miriam di Paola and Mametlwe Sebei explain how this prompted workers to occupy the factory with a view to running it as a democratically controlled co-operative and hopefully providing a model for other factory closures. The Labour Bulletin will watch this experiment with interest.
