Subject: Documentary online now: Italian logistics worker and strike action
Reply-To: kb <kendrabriken@YAHOO.DE>

Dear all,

Comrades from labournet.tv (Berlin) did a great documentary on logistics strike action in Italy. It's online now. I think it's brilliant material for collective screenings or/and teaching on all kinds of "organising" and/or social strike action.

"Since 2008 in northern Italy, unusual things have been happening. Companies, the polical class and the media are using the onset of the crisis to further undermine workers' rights, which have been, up until now, crushed. On the other side, a lively and strong resistance has been forming at the bottom end of the wage scale.

Of all people, it is the precarious and largely migrant workers in the logistics sector who have, through solidarity and effective organising, been successful in overcoming their isolation and degrading working conditions. A struggle that hasn't just changed their working conditions but has changed their whole lives."
