And will occupying the plant actually save their jobs? Do they want to do anything other than continue to make cars for export to the U.S.? What movement is their action a part of? Who are their allies? What's their strategy? Where do they go from here? What happens if the cops kill lots of them? What would they do if by some miracle the government were to wobble, and even more miraculously, they had an opportunity to take power?
