Clutha Development Mine Work-In

The Clutha Development Mine Work-In was an episode of workers' control in South Clifton, Australia in 1972. From May 8 to 10, 1972, about sixty miners took over the Clutha Development mine at South Clifton in defiance of its official closure on May 5, ensuring the mine was reopened for a further period; all workers were returned to the payroll and promised work at other mines after the impending closure.Immanuel Ness (2014) New Forms of Worker Organization: The Syndicalist and Autonomist Restoration of Class Struggle Unionism - Chapter 10: Doing without the boss: Workers' Control Experiments in Australia in the 1970s
