C.I.T.A. The struggle of cooperatives in Argentina
In Argentina, during 2015, productivity in the textile sector dropped to 40%. In 2016 it dropped to 60%. Since the change of government occurred in 2015, 6,000 worker cooperatives have been deregistered nationwide.
C.I.T.A recounts the resistance and fighting spirit of a group of workers to continue operating cooperatively fighting against the different neoliberal policies that threaten Argentina's national industry.
