there at night sleep in the room of the former boss.

            A “podium” will be established at Kazova

            The factory’s conditions for going over to mass production
        are not very good. When the Kazova workers’ struggle became
        known they got a great deal of support. During the several hours

        I was there I could not count the number of sweaters that were
        sold. They had a lot more mens’ sweaters on their hands. Each
        going for 30 TL. They have a message on the plastic bag: “This is
        a product of the Kazova resistance”. After making some repairs,
        their aim is to produce 400 sweaters a day. But for example there
        is no demand to make sales over the Internet, or to send collective
        their materials en masse to other cities. For real support they go

        to factories or to parks where forums are taking place and sell
        there. They sold their first sweaters at the Abbasaga Forum, and
        the next day people came to cut off the electricity. They find this
        interesting, because the old bosses left a 120,000 TL debt but they
        did not pay the bill, somehow or other they said they solved the
        problem. One night the police came twice to cut off the electricity.
        At the moment there is electricity. They say the water problem will
        also be solved with solidarity. There will be a fashion show for re-
        sistance on 28 September. Famous people plan to come to the
        “podium”       to     support      the     Kazova      workers.
