The devaluation of female labour in fruit and vegetable packaging plants in Spanish Mediterranean agriculture

Este articulo tiene como principal objetivo explicar la organizacion social del trabajo en el modelo de produccion hortofruticola almeriense desde una perspectiva de sostenibilidad social. Para ello, parte de una nocion compleja de trabajo que contempla sus dimensiones socioculturales, las relaciones sociales de clase, interetnicas y de sexo-genero sobre las que se configura y el modo en que se halla arraigado en el conjunto de instituciones sociales. Como primera hipotesis se plantea que existe una contradiccion entre el papel central que ocupa el trabajo de las mujeres y las personas inmigrantes para la continuidad del modelo, y la tendencia a minusvalorarlo. La segunda hipotesis mantiene que la organizacion del trabajo se estructura sobre un conjunto de insostenibilidades sociales que ponen en jaque las condiciones de trabajo y la vida de quienes lo realizan. El texto se basa en una metodologia cualitativa apoyada en las tecnicas de la entrevista y la observacion participante. Palabras clave : Organizacion social del trabajo, modelo productivo almeriense, sostenibilidad social, familias agricultoras, trabajo inmigrante.
