This From globaluprisings:
The workers at the Vio.Me. Factory in Thessaloniki, Greece have
quickly grown into a symbol of self-management internationally. After
going on strike and occupying their factory, on February 12, 2013 they
re-opened the factory and started production under worker’s control. For
many, the factory represents a new potential way forward for unemployed
workers in Greece – seizing the means of production, running factories
without bosses, producing only goods that are needed, and distributing
them through solidarity networks.
“Every extra profit we make will be given out to people who need it. Our
plan is to offer help to unemployed people or others who are in great
need,” says Dimitrios Koumasiouras, a worker from Vio.Me.
This film tells the story of how the worker’s re-opened the factory
under self-management and looks to where the factory is headed now.
