Abstract
The extensive productive changes, pushed by economic globalization, constitute a test bench for the trade union organizations, particularly in those sectors where a non-fordist labour organization prevails. Based on an ethnographic research work, the article aims to investigate the daily work unionists of Filcams CGIL in the janitorial sector, from a point of view that privileges microsocial interactions in order to explicate unions practices in a ector marked by a deep social and economic marginalization and a high rate of job insecurity.
