The **Clutha Development Mine Work-In** was an episode of [workers'
|
|
control](Workers'_Self-Management "wikilink") in South Clifton,
|
|
[Australia](Commonwealth_of_Australia "wikilink") in
|
|
[1972](Timeline_of_Libertarian_Socialism_in_Oceania "wikilink"). From
|
|
May 8 to 10, 1972, about sixty [miners](Working_Class "wikilink") took
|
|
over the Clutha Development mine at South Clifton in defiance of its
|
|
official closure on May 5, ensuring the mine was reopened for a further
|
|
period; all workers were returned to the
|
|
[payroll](Wage_Labour "wikilink") and promised work at other mines after
|
|
the impending closure.\[1\]
