摘要：The participation of workers and unions in debates over economic development projects has become a required theme of study for both the social agents involved and scholars of labor studies in Brazil. Special attention has been given to investment strategies and the restructuring of large companies, especially multinationals, and their effects on the places in which they are located. In such cases, the question is: does the logic of the shareholder, solely focused on financial dividends, prevail or is it possible to identify local practices of contestation that demand greater responsibility and commitment from the corporation for the consequences of its actions on local territories?.
