Abstract

Brazilian efforts on industrialization brought about a huge controversy on oil production. Amidst these debates, oil began to be extracted in Bahia, what pushed the Federal Government to build, in 1950, an oil refinery at Mataripe, close to Salvador. This paper intends to discuss work relations within oil industry in Bahia, emphasizing functional hierarchies and the lodging system, as well as pointing out some features of the legitimizing discourse weaved around these relations.
