When Bosses Threatened to Close the Plant, These Greek Workers Took It Over

One day in May 2011, during the peak of Greece’s financial crisis, Alekos Sideris and his coworkers at Vio.Me, a producer of industrial adhesives in the northern city of Thessaloniki, were greeted with grim news.

The management’s parent company, Philkeram Johnson, had once been a profitable enterprise, employing 350 people and exporting ceramic tiles to 29 countries. Now, saddled with $5.3 million in debt, it was filing for bankruptcy, and Sideris and his 69 colleagues would all be flung into the job market in a country where more than one in five people were already without work. After more than a year of delaying paychecks, the company was ready to close up shop and walk away, despite owing more than $1.7 million in debts and compensation to its employees.

Sideris, a burly, now 51-year-old with a dense goatee, had worked at the factory for six years as a machine operator. When he heard about the bankruptcy, his first thought was for his wife and two daughters at home. “It was a huge shock,” he told The Nation. “When you hear that you are going to lose your job, you start thinking [about] the responsibilities you carry, like your family and kids.”

But rather than passively accept his fate, Sideris banded together with his co-workers to fight back. Forty employees decided to occupy the roughly 25,000-square-foot factory and continue their daily work, surviving mostly on unemployment checks. “The thought of leaving behind all of this and going into unemployment was never there,” he said. “We didn’t accept the debts of the bosses.”

Meet the factory workers trying to kill Greece's capitalist system

When is a chemical factory not a chemical factory? When it’s in Greece, in the middle of the biggest meltdown post-war Europe has ever faced.

At the height of the Greek financial crisis in 2011, the mostly middle-aged workers at Viome in the second city of Thessaloniki were faced with an existential quandary: The factory owners had gone bust, and the plant was about to shut down. The men and women of Viome would be laid off and, given the mess Greece was/is/will likely be in for decades, faced the prospect of being unemployed for the rest of their lives.

So they occupied their factory. Not only that, they turned it upside down, in terms of product: Now, instead of making industrial chemicals, they would make soap.

Sunday Biome

Dimanche 3 avril, un beau soleil règne sur Thessalonique. Mes camarades et moi décidons de nous rendre à l'usine autogérée Biome pour écouter un concert de Rebetiko - musique traditionnelle prisée par les gauchistes.

Première étape avant notre départ : un succulent repas (gratuit) à la cantine de l’université. La deuxième : se ravitailler en caféine. Pas de bol, dimanche rien est ouvert dans le quartier. Report de la mission café. Le bus passe devant nous sans qu'on puisse l’attraper. Nous patientons une belle demie heure à papoter de tout de rien : il n'y a pas de temps perdu.

Nous montons dans le bus 2K en direction la banlieue est de la ville. Une vingtaine de minutes se sont écoulées lorsque nous arrivons à destination. Mes camarades réclament leur caféine. L'usine atteinte, notre quête de café semble aboutir. Que neni. Pas de boissons chaudes à l'horizon. Deux vaillant-es camarades poursuivent alors la quête de caféine hors de l'usine.

Passé le portail de Biome, se trouve devant nous le centre culturel Suburba. C'est là qu'a lieu le concert. Nous nous installons à une table hors du hangar pour apprécier le soleil. Avec A, nous discutons d'écriture, de sociologie et d'agriculture paysanne. Elle me raconte son mémoire :

Nos deux vaillant-es nous rapportent le café, accompagnées de deux autres ami-es. Enfin, P et G nous rejoignent. Ils étaient à un match de l'Iraklis. Leur récit nous a beaucoup fait rire. Les supporters de l'équipes se sont pris d’amitiés pour eux et leur ont payé des bières. P et G nous raconte :

Nous décidons de partir à la visite de l'usine. Les graffitis en hommages aux travailleurs et aux travailleuses ornent l’extérieur des bâtiments. L’autogestion ils et elles la font. Après le dépôt de bilan de l'entreprise en 2011, les salarié-es ont squatté leur lieu de travail jouant sur une ambiguïté de la loi grecque et refusant les indemnisations de licenciement. Aujourd'hui, ils et elles fabriquent, vendent et se payent.

Ça tourne mal ! Nous nous sommes quelque peu égaré. Sans crié gare, nous avons franchis la frontière entre l'usine occupée et ce qu'il reste de l'ancien site. Un cher monsieur sécurité est donc venu nous cueillir. Ça parlait police. En suite, un gars du type jean chemise blanche écouteurs Bluetooth nous a fait la morale. Comme l'a bien résumé le camarade "il a peur car il a vu le sort réservé a cette usine : il a peur pour sa peau" :

Nous terminons en beauté cette belle journée par une petite dégustation fromagère typique. Petit croûtons de pain accompagnés d'une - en apparence - subtile crème fromagère. "VERY STRONG" m’avertit le cuistot coiffé d'un calot rouge et noir façon guerre d'Espagne. Suffisant pour attiser ma curiosité. Expérience savoureuse mais peu délicate : haleine very strong garantie.

Pour finir un peu de Rebetiko !
