Recuperated Enterprises Movement (REM) in which workers recover enterprises which have gone bankrupt or been abandoned by the employer and manage them by forming cooperatives took place after the worst economy crisis in Argentina in 2001. This paper examines why REM developed in Argentina through the study subjective and objective conditions.
The direct action of workers is essential for making a success in REM. I point out subjective condition for which workers take the action through the crisis, that is, motivations for workers would participate to REM, as they need to secure the job and cooperative spirit among workers. They cause by autonomy of workers made up after the crisis.
Moreover it is important that objective conditions institutionally and legally support recovered enterprises. The first objective condition is mutual aid relations between other social movements, including neighborhood self-governing bodies. The second is the coordinating organizations that help the troubled firms over rebuilding and management processes. The third is legal institutions such as the expropriation law and the bankruptcy law. These laws gave legitimacy to REM.
