Autogestão, economia solidária e cooperativismo: uma análise da experiência política da Associação Nacional de Trabalhadores e Empresas de Autogestão

Abstract

Some authors within the Social Services linked to the marxist tradition to perform critical solidarity economy as a possibility for overcoming child labor and social transformation. Following the foundation of this critique, this study is meant to examine the principles underlying the perspective of political-pedagogical activity of the National Association of Employees and Self-Managed Companies - ANTEAG. The advisory work of ANTEAG self-management at the companies arising from the bankruptcy estate is analyzed from a historical perspective, pointing to the political and economic transformations experienced in Brazil since the 1990s, a period of major restructuring in our country. As a result of this process has a large number of companies in bankruptcy proceedings that are now managed by the workers. Seeking support for coping with a new framework workers turn to unions. No conditions of immediate support, it creates the ANTEAG, an entity with the goal of assisting workers who are in the process of recovery companies facing bankruptcy, as well as enable the political training of workers self-management. This study discusses the principles that underlie ANTEAG, seeking to highlight the tension between the construction of a new culture for work and emancipation of the workers within the limits of society's capital.
