| Abstract | |
This paper discusses the ways in which workers unions from two brazilian Toyota automobile plants organized their actions in a context of changes, starting from 1990s. I analyse both metalworkers union´s practices of ABC Paulista region located in a traditional industrial area and Campinas metalworkers union located in a new industrial cluster. In a context of recent changes lived by the brazilian automotive industry, especially from the 1990s, the rationalization strategies in the production processes have been changing traditional forms of union activity and work organization, so these workers and their unions started to rethink their possibilities of action.
