The 1971 Harco work-in was an action undertaken by workers at a steel plant in Campbelltown, New South Wales, Australia. The work-in was the culmination of a protracted industrial dispute between the owners of Harco Steel and the workers at the Campbelltown site. The dispute arose as a result of worker objections to the owners' practice of sacking and then rehiring workers to reduce costs during periods of low production. The work-in lasted for a period of four weeks. Workers' self-management was practiced, leading to an increase in productivity of around 26%.

  • The 1971 Harco work-in was an action undertaken by workers at a steel plant in Campbelltown, New South Wales, Australia. The work-in was the culmination of a protracted industrial dispute between the owners of Harco Steel and the workers at the Campbelltown site. The dispute arose as a result of worker objections to the owners' practice of sacking and then rehiring workers to reduce costs during periods of low production. After a round of sackings in November 1971, the workers decided that strike action, which was common at the site, was no longer an effective tactic for confronting management. Drawing inspiration from the factory occupations in France in 1968 as well as actions taken by the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders in Scotland earlier in 1971, the Harco workers adopted the tactic of the work-in. The work-in lasted for a period of four weeks. Workers' self-management was practiced, leading to an increase in productivity of around 26%. The owners of Harco responded in a number of ways, including sabotage and legal action. Workers received community support in the form of donations of food and money. The work-in ended when Harco obtained an order from the Supreme Court of New South Wales, which compelled the workers to leave the site. (en)
  • Забастовка Harco — это была акция рабочих на сталелитейном заводе в Campbelltown в Новом Южном Уэльсе в Австралии. Рабочие не работали и не уходили с предприятия в знак протеста. Забастовка стала кульминацией затяжного трудового спора между владельцем «Harco Steel» и рабочими Campbelltown`а. Спор возник в результате протестов рабочих против политики компании по увольнению. Рабочих увольняли, а потом вновь нанимали, чтобы сократить расходы в период низкого производства. После серии увольнений в ноябре 1971 года, рабочие решили, что просто забастовка уже не подходит для противостояния с руководством компании. Черпая вдохновение из захватов заводов во Франции в 1968 году и мерах, принятых судостроителям компании «Upper Clyde Shipbuilders» в Шотландии в начале 1971 г., рабочие «Harco» решили не уходить с предприятия. Забастовка продолжалась в течение четырех недель. Все это время завод находился под управлением рабочих без участия компании. Владельцы «Harco» ответили саботажем и законными взысканиями. Рабочие получили поддержку со стороны общества в виде еды и денег. Забастовка закончилось, когда «Harco» получил ордер от Верховного суда Нового Южного Уэльса, который принуждал работников покинуть предприятие. (ru)
