The Labour Market in the Spanish Fish-Canning Industry, 1880–1977: Labour Contracts and Work Organization

In the wake of the 2008 global financial and economic crisis, new forms of work organization emerged in Europe. Following this trend, Portugal has undergone a reconfiguration of its artistic organizations. In the performing arts, some organiza-tions seem to have crystalized and others are reinventing their artistic mission. They follow a plurality of organizational patterns and resilient profiles framed by cyclical, structural and occupational changes. Artistic organizations have had to adopt new models of work and seek new opportunities to try out alternatives in order to deal, namely, with the constraints of the labour market. The article anal-yses some of the restructuring processes taking place in three Portuguese artistic organizations, focusing on their contexts, individual trajectories and collective missions for adapting to contemporary challenges of work in the arts. We conclude that organizations are a key domain for understanding the changes taking place.

The principal aim of research is to develop a mechanism for the organization of research work of students toward mastery of ICT literacy. In the article it has been formed the model of students’ research work organization in the learning process of informatics disciplines; produced the algorithm of cloud-based learning technologies application in the organization of history students’ research work; described recommendations for the structure and the content of e-learning materials in the study of cloud-based learning technologies (as a part of the training course in LMS Moodle). The several recommendations can be made on the basis of performed experience analysis of implementing a cloud oriented technologies of Informatics disciplines among the different specialties. It is advisable to use the model-table "Using a cloud oriented technologies of teaching", with appropriate adaptation to scientific-pedagogical and logistical capacity of a particular educational institution (specific structural unit or Department). The introduction of the designated model promotes: productive activity of students; autonomy of learning and the maximum approximation of the accumulated experience to the requirements of the labour market; the formation of an active research position of the project participants; the formation of students ‘ critical thinking by phased activation of the operations of thinking. Using the model need to be creative in overcoming some negative aspects: to develop the motivational aspect of attracting students to research activities; to form the definition of future student’s research activities; to maximize the interaction of science with the educational process and with the requirements of the labour market; to overcome the stereotype that not all students should be involved in scientific work.

This article makes use of linkage of many different sources – official population censuses, wage books, interviews, the correspondence of many canning companies, notarial records, documents from canning unions – in order to investigate labour market segmentation between 1880 and 1960 in the Spanish fish-canning industry, a sector that employed mainly female labour. I explore some social and economic factors that explain why women were placed in the ‘secondary’ segment of the labour market in the fish-canning sector. The study also considers the earning differentials between men and women and the different types of contracts offered to male and female workers.
