Radical unionism started after the first world war. The movement was a result of increasing internal commissions or "faculty councils. Around November of 1918, the councils/commissions had morphed into a national problem. By February 1919, the federation of Italian metal workers had successfully received a contract permitting these commissions in their factories. In May of 1919, these commissions begain to transfer into councils that were managing the factories and were dominating the power structure of said workplaces. The contract also prevented democratic elections of these council members or "stewards." In April of 1920, at Fiat, there was the beginning of sit-in strikes by the workers, which eventually grew to 500,000 workers striking at its peak. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://libcom.org/history/articles/italy-factory-occupations-1920|title=1918-1921: The Italian factory occupations and Biennio Rosso|website=libcom.org|access-date=2016-04-22}}</ref>
