When (almost) everything falls apart: The transformations of the political behavior of the metallurgical category of ABC Paulista and its relations with education and work

Abstract

This research proposal has the central objective of understanding the transformationsrecent developments in the political behavior of metalworkersABC Paulista, relating such changes to the phenomenon ofschooling of the region's residents and the reduction of opportunities for insertion in theindustrial labor market, especially in positions compatible with investmentseducational activities carried out by working-class families. Therefore, we start from the hypothesis thatpolitical behaviors, which are known to be made up of multiple variables(of an objective and subjective order), can also be determined by the realization orfrustration of intergenerational transmission projects and inheritance of social positions. Like this,with a view to highlighting how internal inequalities in this category (in terms ofterms of wages, schooling, professional qualification, living and working conditions)influence the transformations in political behavior, we elected for thisresearches the two most important sectors of metallurgy, which are, in turn, concentratedin two municipalities of ABC Paulista: the automobile manufacturers of São Bernardo doCampo (SBC) and the auto parts factories in Diadema. To this end, the research will rely ona first qualitative phase, with semi-structured interviews with workers andtrade unionists; which will support the elaboration of a questionnaire, through which it is intendedcharacterize trends in the political behavior of the research subjects,relating them to the social attributes and personal and family trajectories of theworkers and, finally, in their last stage, conduct in-depth interviewswith workers who "represent" the trends identified in the previous stage.
