Workers’ Mobilization and Industrial Transformation: The case of the Cooperative Viome

This research is aiming to establish a causality between the questionable governance of the Philkeram cluster and the radical mobilization of the work-ers of Viome. In this case, the occupation of Viome’s factory and the estab-lishment of a cooperative, as the administration of it, followed the bankruptcy of the cluster. Main purpose of the research is to identify the reasons of Viome workers’ mobilization, to root them in the structural characteristics of firms that operate under concentrated ownership, and to compare them with the mobilization theory that was principally established by John Kelly.
