STRIKE IN BOCHUM
In German history the year 2004 will not only go down as the year of Hartz IV and the Monday Demonstrations. The massive social cutbacks at the factory level were important too. While the heads of the unions organized nothing more than withdrawal, employees of Opel in Bochum provided a symbol of resistance by going on a wildcat strike. Also taking part was the labor-based opposition group 'Resistance Without Borders' and Manfred Strobel, one of its most active members. For many years he was electrician at Factory II of Opel Bochum.
