SUMMARY:

In Brazil, paid or unpaid domestic work, predominantly carried out by Black women, is essential for sustaining both reproductive and productive life. Despite being marginalized, domestic workers resist through unions and associations, confronting various vectors of social oppression, demanding recognition and the realization of their rights. Consequently, this research focuses on the dynamics of paid domestic workers within unions in their defense of their rights. The aim is to understand how the daily operations of the Domestic Workers' Association of Campina Grande/PB function and to analyze how unionization impacts the professional and private lives of these women. To achieve this, the research is based on fieldwork through participant observation. Additionally, documentary research and semi-structured interviews were conducted with domestic workers who are part of the association’s administrative management, along with local allies representing sectors of society in public administration and non-profit private institutions. The research reveals: i) the structural challenges for the daily maintenance of the association, including the lack of financial and human resources to carry out administrative tasks; ii) the tensions in the dynamics that permeate domestic workers' relationships between unpaid domestic and care work within the family, paid domestic work for employers, and commitments to union organization; iii) finally, the association presents itself as a place of support, education, and transformation, where workers can better understand their experiences and the violence they face.
