| Sumario: | This article is part of a post-doctorate and Master's degree research. This research aimed at studying the subjects organized by the MTD (Jobless Workers' Movement), which led to the central thesis of this article. In this sense, the purpose here is to discuss theses concerning the unemployed workers' capacity to mobilizes, debating a few empirical elements: the interpretation that some of them, organized in a social movement to struggle for work, create regarding their own political projects/proposals for work-income. We also bring back the concept of work that guides the political activity of these subjects organized in a Social Movement. We argue that the workers of the universe researched are not "excluded". Instead, they are workers with precarious, intermittent and mainly informal relations with the labor market, participating, in the most fragile and marginal positions, in a logic of overexploitation and weakening of working conditions, present in contemporary capitalism. |
