Trabalho e modo de vida:o caso de trabalhadores de novas áreas industriais

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to discuss some aspects of the way of life of the fabriles workers, considering their insertion in factories established in areas without any industrial tradition. Their discussion is based on some interviews with workers and ex-workers from five factories localized in a small town in the countryside of the Ceará state. The workers have been building a new way of organizing their lives outside the factory enviroment taking into consideration what they have learned and what it has been demanded from them in the factories they work at. Among other aspects, the changes have modified their familiar and affective relationships, habits and values.
