“Família Compactor”: A trajetória da Cia. de Canetas Compactor e a relação com os trabalhadores no processo de industrialização de Nova Iguaçu nos anos 1950, 1960 e 1970

Abstract

This paper intends to analyze the trajectory of Cia. de Canetas Compactor in the process of industrialization of Nova Iguaçu. During the research we dedicated ourselves to investigate the paternalistic project conceived by the bosses called "Compactor Family", seeking the process of construction of this idea. Before arriving at the time of installation of the factory, it was necessary first to explore the economic and social context in which the Baixada Fluminense was inserted. And then examine the immigration processes of the German founders and how the Compactor came about. We then decided to analyze the relationship between workers and boss, evidencing the conflicts that permeated this link. To reach our objectives, we used as sources interviews with active and retired workers, periodicals, immigration documents and official IBGE documents.
