Milan, 1920: after the Alfa Romeo lock-out, 300 factories were occupied by workers. Genoa, 1950: the labour movement occupied San Giorgio, Ansaldo and Ilva factories for 82 days. Italy, 2014: that world is over. Unregulated free markets, working fathers against their working sons and daughters, unions in disarray, workfare overwhelming welfare: this is the story of an experiment. Where? In airports. Why? Because airports have been the first workplaces to be affected by uncontrolled liberalisations. From the birth of American low-cost airlines to the evolution of a medium-sized airport: Turin Caselle, Piedmont - a region in the North-West of Italy, the kingdom of Fiat and Agnelli family. What for? To find a new way to approach regular and precarious workers and immigrants; to reunify the production chain under the same participatory solidarity umbrella. To win over Bauman´s liquefaction process.
