- Occupation of factories is a method of the workers' movement used to prevent lock outs. They may sometimes lead to "recovered factories", in which the workers self-manage the factories. They have been used in many strike actions, including:
* the 1919–20 Biennio Rosso (in particular the Turin factory occupation of 1920)
* (see 1936 Matignon agreements)
* in the May 68 revolts, supported by the Council for Maintaining the Occupations
* in the 1970s in Italy (35-day occupation of the Fiat)
* Upper Clyde Shipbuilders workers staged a work-in during 1971–72 with about 260 further occupations in Britain in the following decade
* the 1971 Harco work-in, Australia
* 1973 Uruguayan general strike
* Lip factory in France in 1973
* the occupation of the ceramics factory formerly known as Zanon in Argentina starting in 2001, that under workers' control changed its name to FaSinPat
* the occupation of the Republic Windows and Doors factory in Chicago in 2008, and the re-occupation of the factory in 2012
* A 77-day occupation of the Ssangyong car factory in 2009
* Current occupation of Viomichaniki Metalleutiki in Thessaloniki, Greece, along the lines of factory occupations in Argentina. (en)
