Volos was from the end of the 19th century a "labor city" and the birthplace, at the beginning of the 20th century, of the Greek labor movement. Until the late 1970s it was an attraction for internal migrants from the province in search of employment. The industrial work, but also the deindustrialization of the 1970s and 1980s marked the city. The research, during which 18 interviews were conducted, aimed to investigate the individual and collective experiences of employees.
