Abstract

SANTOS JUNIOR, Jaime  and  DE MENEZES, Marilda Aparecida. Education and work in former metalworker families. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2021, vol.27, e36527.  Epub Apr 05, 2021. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc.v27.2021.36527.

The purpose of this article is to analyse how union activism and the work experience of metalworkers were part of the learning processes and became expectations of formal education for their children. The interviews were carried out with metallurgical women and men from the ABC Paulista region, who participated in the cycle of strikes in the late 1970s, and with their sons and daughters. From their memories, we can show how the trajectories of activism and work provide evidence to understand the influences on the educational investments of sons and daughters.

Keywords : Unionism; Education; Socialization; Work; Families.
