Abstract
This article presents a global factory through work on a production line. The author addresses an issue, which gradually emerged during field research in dialogue with her initial activist bias: how to understand that studied global factory is considered to be a solid employer? Objects and operators at a production line, as well as factory as a producer and a workplace are in this text, which is based on a five-month ethnographic research, explored through the lens of fluidity.
Analysis of the fluid and solid moments in the organization of production and of the nature of capital/work relations allows understanding the benefit of employment in the plant under study, which is at times of high pressure on labor flexibility, appreciated stability.
