This Research characterized as a case study and the subject of its investigation is the work relationship of two Empresas Recuperadas por Trabalhadores — ERTs (companies recuperated by workers): UNIFORJA E CONES. These companies were born from the bankruptcy of capitalist firms and became cooperatives that work under self-management system. The investigation and analysis aimed to understand to which extent these ERTs, after 20 years of existence, were or were not able to remain faithful to the self-management system. The investigation also tried to identify contradictions and ambiguities in the ERTs daily routines, as well as possibilities to overcome these contradictions, once the ERTs are embedded in the capitalist market, subdued by production logic and capital reproduction. The central point of this investigation is based on the principle of self-management as a radicality in the practice of direct democracy that seeks the meaning of its generalization in society as mean and end of the worker´s struggle against capitalism. What we found was the reproduction of capitalist work relationships mixed with a few innovations generated by attempts to remain faithful to the self-management principles. However, self-management is stumbling due to strongly hierarchical power relationships based on an egalitarian relation of duties and rights that does not promote equality of conditions and knowledge, does not develop new leadership, and does not form the workers’ critical conscience – not even the conscience of their condition as workers. Therefore, we can talk about a class division between the ERTs worker-partners based on income inequality, differentiated knowledge levels, the leaders’ ideological formation and work social division, all of which producing alienation. Our analysis corroborated our initial suspicion that, by using the same structures and models of production organization and work management, the ERTs put at risk the self-management practices. Our conclusions point towards the creation of a new model of production organization and work management based on the principles of self-management, democracy and equality, with the authentic participation of workers in every process of planning and organization of production and management, and aiming at overcoming alienated work. Based on the analysis of the objective and subjective conditions we found in the ERTs we researched and considering its ambiguities and contradictions generated by continuities and discontinuities in the processes of production organization and work management, we understand that the object of a new model of work relationships management is the effective participation of the workers in the work management, and the objective is to overcome the alienated work. Therefore, we finish by presenting a proposal to develop a New Model of Work Relationships Management, grounded in two axes: the development of Processes of Integral and Continuous Formation for the worker-partners and the creation of (or participation in) Networks of Solidarity
