Popis: This article seeks to highlight the ways in which workers, who have occupied land for housing construction in Uberlândia (MG) between the years 2000-2012, experienced some conditions and productive relations. We discuss certain interpretations of the “struggle for the city”, the “struggle for urban reform”, the “struggle” itself for a “better life” or yet their “only alternative of life”, in the attempt to explain the direct action of these workers. From dimensions established between housing, employment and struggle, we locate subjects as agents of the ways they handle their own experiences and how they elaborate discourses about their own understanding on economy, politics, community and justice.
