| Resumo: | This research investigates the role of ideologies in the processes of resistance against the
precariousness of work undertaken by bus drivers in Natal/RN. From a Marxist theoreticalreferential framework and based on historical-cultural psychology, this research seeks to
understand more than the precariousness of work, it seeks, more specifically, to understand the
way in which workers fight and resist this phenomenon. Bus drivers have undergone a gradual
process of transformation of their working conditions since the early 2000s, when the electronic
ticketing system was adopted in Brazil. Such a system allows the automation of the bus collector
activity, which resulted in mass dismissal of these professionals and in the accumulation of
tasks by the drivers. This process, which was predominantly gradual, underwent a major
radicalization during the pandemic crisis related to the new coronavirus, from the year 2020.
However, workers from all over Brazil and, more specifically, from Natal, mobilized to resist.
Within this context, using semi-structured interviews, 11 bus drivers were interlocutors in this
research. Based on the meanings expressed in these interviews, it was possible to identify which
ideologies guided the subjects' actions against precariousness. The ideologies identified were
three: ideology of classical labor; ideology of collective struggle; and salvationist ideology.
What can be concluded from these ideologies is that workers have a critical view of
precariousness and perceive the need for changes. These changes, however, are seen as the
responsibility of third parties, even though workers also take unmotivated and suspicious direct attitudes. |
