FIGHT GEAR The group of factory representatives and trade unionists posing against the backdrop of a secondary entrance of the establishment; you can see the parked bicycles; usual means of transportation to get to work. When the property has decided to dismiss all and tighten the system; the work has continued in self-management for a long period; from November '53 to January '54; to ward off the specter of unemployment for 1;750 male and female workers. The unrest has raised wide solidarity; and the dispute was ended with the acquisition by Eni foundry abandoned by SNIA Viscose. Photography by Ando Gilardi (1921-2012) # andogilardi; Florence 1953
