The justification for a blackout as a form of protest was a rejection of the proposed increase of fees of electricity and other basic services. During the 1990s, under the Carlos Menem Menem administration, the Convertibility Law guaranteed a fixed exchange rate of 1 United States dollar U. S. dollar per Argentine peso , and the private companies that supplied electric power , telephone service, natural gas and drinking water , among others, earned consistently high Profit accounting profits , which could be turned into dollars and sent abroad with no loss. A number of these service providers had also secured dollarized fees, contracts that entitled them to ask for increases in their fees subject to the inflation of the United States , and other provisions of the kind. After the uncontrolled devaluation of the peso in 2002, the profit measured in dollars was diminished proportionally, and their local operating costs in pesos skyrocketed. The service companies asked the national government of Argentina to authorize considerable fee increases in some cases over 100 . The Eduardo Duhalde Duhalde administration rejected the possibility for a while, but finally called for consultation meetings to discuss the matter. The public reacted angrily to this, accusing the private companies of being greedy and oblivious to the dangerously unstable social environment half of the population was under the poverty line , unemployment was over 20 , and inflation continued rising.

Brukman is a textile factory in Balvanera , Buenos Aires , Argentina Jujuy 554 . Currently under the control of a worker cooperative called 18 de Diciembre , it is among the most famous of the country s recovered factory recovered factories . Background The Brukman factory suffered the effects of the Argentine economic crisis , which first became clearly noticeable as a recession in 1998. Since 1995 business had been shrinking, and Brukman had fired over half of its formerly 300 employees. Sales were dropping and debts had piled up. The workers salaries were reduced to the point that they could not pay the transportation fare to get to work every day. Rumours also circulated that the owners were preparing to close down the factory. Takeover On December 18 2001, about fifty people most of them women met at the factory and demanded to be granted a travel allowance, just to be able to keep their jobs. The Brukman brothers, owners of the factory, promised to bring money and left. The workers decided to stay, asked the doorman for the keys, and spent the night at the factory. Their idea was to take the building and negotiate from that position. But the owners never returned, so they began working again by themselves. In time, the factory made new clients and managed to pay off debts. The workers, organized in an assembly, decided on a fair wage for themselves. After months they were able to raise their salaries and hire ten more employees. The owners tried to have the workers evicted several times. The last eviction order came from Judge Jorge Rimondi. At midnight, April 18 2003, more than 300 infantry troops from the Argentine federal police and about 30 civilians succeeded in forcing out the workers. A few hours later, still before dawn, 3,000 demonstrators were already gathered around Brukman to support the workers, including piquetero s and neighbourhood assembly members. Legislators and other officials, as well as human rights groups, met with Judge Rimondi, but the ... more details
