E14: Live from the Working Class Literature Festival
Following our double-episode on the <a href="https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/wcl10-11-florence-working-class-literature-festival/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Florence Working-Class Literature Festival</a> back in February, our co-host Matt was invited to this year’s festival, recording this episode on-site at the ex-GKN factory in Florence. Featuring the various writers, researchers, organisers, and activists in attendance, this episode captures the atmosphere of the festival at this critical time for the GKN struggle.<br /><i>Our podcast is brought to you by patreon supporters of both Working Class Literature and Working Class History. Our supporters fund our work, and in return get exclusive early access to podcast episodes, bonus episodes, free and discounted merchandise and other content. Join us or find out more at <a href="https://patreon.com/workingclasshistory" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">patreon.com/workingclasshistory</a></i><br />Taking place on 4-6 April 2025, the opending day of the festival marked the 1367th day since the 400+ workforce at the GKN car parts factory in Florence was first made redundant. They subsequently seized the factory and remain in control of it to this day, despite receiving their third – and now final – redundancy notice in the days leading up to this year’s festival.Recorded on-site at the occupied GKN factory on the outskirts of Florence, this episode features the voices of various writers, researchers, organisers, and activists that we spoke to while at the festival. These conversations took place against a frenzy of activity, both for the festival but also the GKN struggle itself.<br /><br /><b>Acknowledgements</b><br /><ul><li>Thanks to all our patreon supporters for making this podcast possible.
