Abstract

In this paper I address the way shipbuilding
workers attempt to cope with employment
precariousness in the context of shipbuilding
activities in the workplace of Perama zone,
a suburb of western Piraeus area. Added
emphasis is placed on how workers conceive
of their involvement into local labour
processes and for this reason I focus on the
social relations developed during the process
of managing their existence.
