NEUQUÉN - On the outskirts of Neuquén, at kilometre 7 of the Ruta-7, is the Zanon ceramic tile factory. This is where they do something very special. Ten years ago, Zanon's workers took over their factory. The expropriation was completed in January.
The workers, united in a cooperative, officially became the owners of the name, the brand and the ceramics factory. The Fabrica Sin Patrones (Factory without Bosses) is a unique experiment in emancipation. It is struggling to survive in the capitalist economy.
