?This is an historical gathering. For the first time workers from occupied
factories from across the continent are meeting together? (Serge Goulart,
United Workers? Council of Brazilian group of occupied factories)

?We have shown how the workers can run the companies, and this means we can run
society as well? (Ricardo Moreira, PIT-CNT, Uruguay)

More than 400 people from 235 worker occupied factories and 20 different
national trade union centres participated in the ?First Latin American
Gathering of Worker Recovered Factories? in Caracas on October 27-29.

This was truly a historical meeting, the first time that workers involved in
factory occupations in different countries met to discuss their problems, share
their experiences and draw political conclusions from their struggle. And such a
meeting could only take place in revolutionary Venezuela where it had the
support of Chavez?s Bolivarian government.
