Divisione nella lotta e alienazione tra i lavoratori in sciopero delle acciaierie di Terni

This paper focuses on the strike among the workers of the TK-AST steelworks in Terni during the 2014 industrial dispute, and on their collective action. The paper aims at demonstrating how such collective action is characterised by an internal fragmentation born out of a growing alienation in the workplace mirrored in the public sphere during the strike action, and which can be traced back to the personal history of the individuals, to the length of service and position in the production process and struggle experience. It also attempts to demonstrate how this can be interpreted with a growing alienation in the production sphere of industrial work which can be linked to a general differentiation of life into social aspects and economic aspects, and a distinction between central and peripheral aspects of the self.
