Clorox was moving from Venezuela and closing its plants there, leaving hundreds of workers unemployed. But the workers occupied the factories and then the government officially re-opened them. They're now producing again, just like it ought to be done.

Interesting. Worker occupation. I don't necessarily love the Venezuelan gov't, but at least I can say this is the right thing to do. They have apparently seized the factory for the workers.

How is the Venezuelan government responding to occupation?

Government officials attended the assembly and promised aid to keep the plant running. They're not producing again yet, apparently.
