A (in)visibilidade das costureiras faccionistas da indústria do vestuário de Teresina

Abstract

The seamstress plays an essential role in the fashion industry, especially in the Clothing Industry, but it is still a profession that is undervalued by this sector of the market. In view of this scenario, this research was developed with the general objective of identifying the factors that contribute to the devaluation of the labor of factional seamstresses in the clothing industry in Teresina. Methodologically, a bibliographic research was carried out in which a survey was carried out on the publication of works with themes related to the object of study of this research. Subsequently, an exploratory research was developed in which the questionnaire was used as a research instrument. The results show that the daily journey is exhausting, the price paid per piece produced is low, being below the amount received if they had a formal contract and labor rights are not respected. From these results, it is concluded that it is interesting to create an association of seamstresses for the clothing industry, in addition to creating a price list prepared according to the fixed costs of each faction as an outsourced company and the reality of each factional seamstress. Based on this finding, an intermediate table was prepared with an estimate of prices within pre- established criteria
