Worker Cooperative at Bauen Hotel in Argentina Faces Eviction

After the Bauen Hotel closed its doors in 2001, a group of workers occupied the hotel, invested in repairs, and re-opened the hotel, running it as a worker cooperative and becoming a leading example of Argentinian worker-recuperated enterprises. On March 26, Judge Paula Hualde of the Social Security and Commercial Federal Court gave the worker cooperative until April 18 to vacate the hotel so it can be returned to its original owner.
