To analyze the transformations a theoric study about sub contractions and working conditions was made substantiated in the productive reorganization occurred in ALUNORTE S/A, a chemistry industry located at Barcarena City , Para , Brazil. The study is focused on the productive process reorganization and jobs redistribution based in this reorganization, all this considering the transition of a Taylor/Ford model to a Flexible Work/Production model. The caracteristic of this model is the flexibility in jobs associations and the rationalization of the productive process, this two factors conducts to the use of “flexible technology” that is a management process to improve the exploitation of the work force and the sub contractions . The empirical analysis expose the critical working conditions and the submission of the outsourcing employees in a visible condition face to the company, changing theirs status to a peripheric workers. This process to contract and allocation of work force became excluding for local working force since that the process didn’t absorb to personnel staff of ALUNORTE S/A the working force of Barcarena City (in most of cases), this action didn’t contribute to regional socioeconomic Development resulting in a increase of the segmentation of job market.
