This article presents a proposal for a research and action agenda in Workers' Health, taking the case of repetitive strain injury (RSI). It assumes that RSIs are both an object and a pretext for the Workers' Health area. As an object, RSIs demand both an understanding and resolution of problems as they present, and as a pretext, RSIs underscore the limits and contradictions of the paradigms adopted in Workers' Health. The article draws on data and questions raised in several studies.
