Abstract

Since the beginning of present phase of accumulation (1970’s), capitalism have been promoting a real war against human labour. Investing heavily in Science and Technology and reorganizing the practice of the workers in the factories, capital have increased its supremacy upon the working class and have kept its profit’s indexes in high levels. Outsourcing and several changes in working legislation are parts of the same movement of aggravation of workers’ activity (growth in the intensity of working processes) and impoverishment of their conscience. At one hand, the capital’s globalization have brought technological advance, however, on the other hand, it brought also a significant retrogression in the life and labour conditions of the workers.
