| description | Motor industry in Brazil has increased in the 90s, when companies set up plants outside of São Paulo in search for workers with no experience in trade union negotiations, among others motives. In this article we focus on the cases of Mitsubishi in Catalão (state of Goiás) and Volkswagen in Resende (Rio de Janeiro), by analyzing the organization of work, workers’ socioeconomic profiles and union movement in these plants. Although working conditions at MMC are seen as outmoded, both plants maintain a hybrid organization. A good deal of workers comes from Catalão and includes young highly educated males lacking, however, the industrial culture peculiar to the automotive sector as well as tradition in union trading. The lack of labor union tradition, however, starts to erode. In Resende the union seems to be committed to the workers it represents: it takes part in collective bargaining and keeps a factory committee. In Catalão a labor union was created in late 2004 and began to fight for the interests of its base. |

A indústria automotiva cresceu nos anos 90, quando as montadoras criaram unidades fora da Grande São Paulo em busca de trabalhadores sem tradição na negociação sindical, dentre outros motivos. Destaca-se aqui a criação da Mitsubishi em Catalão (GO) e da Volkswagen em Resende (RJ). A organização do trabalho, o perfi socioeconômico dos trabalhadores e o movimento sindical nessas plantas são analisados neste artigo. Embora na MMC o processo de trabalho seja tido como arcaico, a organização da produção de ambas é híbrida. A maioria dos trabalhadores é da própria cidade e inclui jovens com escolaridade alta, mas sem a cultura industrial do setor automotivo e a tradição sindical. A falta de tradição sindical, porém, começa a se erodir: em Resende, o sindicato se mostra comprometido com seus representados: participa de acordo coletivo e mantém comissão de fábrica; em Catalão, ao final de 2004, foi criado um sindicato dos trabalhadores metalúrgicos, que também iniciou uma trajetória de luta pelos interesses de sua base. 2007-09-20 2022-03-18T18:32:41Z 2022-03-18T18:32:41Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/352 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/62843 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/352/216 Copyright (c) 2007 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 12 n. 22 (2007) 1982-4718 1414-0144 |
