SUMMARY:

This research investigates the role of ideologies in the processes of resistance against the precariousness of work undertaken by bus drivers in Natal/RN. From a Marxist theoretical-referential framework and based on historical-cultural psychology, this research seeks to understand more than the precariousness of work, it seeks, more specifically, to understand the way in which workers fight and resist this phenomenon. Bus drivers have undergone a gradual process of transformation of their working conditions since the early 2000s, when the electronic ticketing system was adopted in Brazil. Such a system allows the automation of the bus collector activity, which resulted in mass dismissal of these professionals and in the accumulation of tasks by the drivers. This process, which was predominantly gradual, underwent a major radicalization during the pandemic crisis related to the new coronavirus, from the year 2020. However, workers from all over Brazil and, more specifically, from Natal, mobilized to resist. Within this context, using semi-structured interviews, 11 bus drivers were interlocutors in this research. Based on the meanings expressed in these interviews, it was possible to identify which ideologies guided the subjects' actions against precariousness. The ideologies identified were three: ideology of classical labor; ideology of collective struggle; and salvationist ideology. What can be concluded from these ideologies is that workers have a critical view of precariousness and perceive the need for changes. These changes, however, are seen as the responsibility of third parties, even though workers also take unmotivated and suspicious direct attitudes.
