When Triumph went bankrupt, the workers locked themselves inside the factory and refused to leave for nearly two years — and it actually worked. The story of how one of the most famous motorcycle brands in the world collapsed, survived, collapsed again, and then came back from almost nothing is wilder than most people know. The sit-in alone is extraordinary. What happened next is even better. If you were one of those 750 workers, would you stay or walk?
