Love to see it! Italian dock workers refuse to load weapons and arms headed for israel. also shout out to the autonomous port workers collective of genoa and the weaponwhath association for reporting on the contents of the containers. this is what’s happens when workers unite and have control over their labor.
Friendly reminder that dock work is a classic locus of laborist power and one of the reasons mafia organized crime is so big in both dock work and Italy in general is that it operates in the same niche – leveraging the actual autonomous power of individual workers to sustain a parallel hierarchy capable of acting against the “official” order in its own interest – but is not inherently opposed to that order and can better pursue alliances
