O fim do uso do alojamento nos grandes canteiros de obras de São Paulo como instrumento de flexibilização do trabalho

Abstract

Until the decade of 1980s, accommodations made for civil construction workers were considered as a gate of entrance for migrants in the city. The article tries to elucidate the reasons for the end of this practice, which was a tool for enticements, control and capitalist exploration, and its consequences in the reproduction of the migrant work force in the metropolis. The end of this kind of accommodation for the workers is considered in its connection to flexibilization practices in capitalist production, as well as a way of suppressing worker rights.
