The social sciences of labor have face great challenges to explore labor; however, in this disciplines the study of the industrial model has prevailed, while the analysis of sectors of services as productive spaces has been delayed. Laborers in governmental institutions, not only work the "shapes" and "substances", but also the very human survival and reproduction. The present article is aimed at giving an account of the work of men working on men, specifically on laborers who work on other laborers who undergo social disaggregation, exclusion, and ghettification. The results from our qualitative research show the participation in the production of knowledge of the very laborers, rehearsing a co-productive dialogue in hospital and with laborers from recovered enterprises. This dialogical construction allows exploring the dimensions of alienation, power and the subjectivity in the social processes of labor.
