Work-in

A work-in is a form of direct action, where a group of workers whose jobs are under threat resolve to remain in their place of employment and continue producing without pay. The intention is usually to show that their place of work still has long-term viability, or can be effectively self-managed by the workers.

History

Historical examples of the work-in include:

• The Upper Clyde Shipbuilders work-in of 1971.
• The Harco Steel work-in of 1971.
