After the company announced the closure of its Campi Bisenzio plant and the dismissal of more than 400 workers, employees organized a permanent assembly and occupied the factory. The collective defended jobs and production knowledge while developing a plan for socially useful, lower-carbon production. The struggle later built alliances with climate justice groups and became a prominent example of worker-led just transition.
