traditional sector with some average characteristics, nevertheless is a very
important sector in terms of labour market. Globalization and de-localization
are having a strong impact in the organisation of work and in occupational

paths: one where companies outsource production to another territory, close and/
or dismissal the workers; other path, where companies up skilled their
capacities. This paper will present some results from the European project WORKS
– Work organisation and restructuring in the knowledge society (6th Framework
Programme), focusing the Portuguese case studies in several clothing companies
in a comparative analysis with some other European countrie
