Abstract

The article analyzes the company Naval Gijón, born in 1985 and closed in 2009 after a long trajectory of labor conflicts and accumulation of losses. Detached, technolo-gically obsolete, repeatedly changing of proprietors and occupying land with real estate business opportunities, the yard remained, however, open for 25 years, the result of the tenacious commitment of its workers, a persistent focus of mobiliza-tions, often in radical forms and Intense political pressure.
