Abstract
This article reports the vision, the consciousness, and the tolerance of workers at the assembly line in automotive industries and the car supply industry sited at the Metropolitan area in Curitiba (RMC), trying to demonstrate their daily strife at work. It explains about the flexible production work organization and the conditions of work inside the activities developed at the work quotidian and the effects over workers’ physical and subjective dimensions. The work situations reported try to demonstrate some kinds of suffering or physical and mental deterioration created throughout the work. The data and workers’ reports are from interviews performed as a part of my doctorate thesis. In spite of the researcher’s difficulties so as to not express feelings before the workers’ narrative, we got to interpret them with the help of sociology of work and organizational behaviour authorsThis journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
