This study looks at labor, the working class and the current disturbances to social protection, explaining in a reflexive manner the social processes that shape it. It reveals that the contradictions in the development of the productive forces are present in the social relations and their forms of contemporary reproduction, which have a strong impact on the sociability of the working class. It indicates the gap between work and social protection, contextualized in the realm of new corporate processes resulting from the predatory action of capital.
