Abstract
This chapter follows the evolution and radicalization of conflict at FIAT in the year following the first factory occupation, with three aims in mind: first, to show how leaders emerged from within the context of mobilization and the role they had in catalysing workers’ grievances; second, to consider how workers changed themselves while collectively contesting the social reality surrounding them and third, to show how effective the company’s counter-mobilization strategies of eliminating leaders, dividing workers and breaking solidarity were.
