T ork at home we felt a great invention of modernity. With the computer connected to the internet can work at home like you're in the office. Is, the gurus told us and we looked stunned. Can not be, we said - and how the boss will monitor our work, how we are going to look into the eyes of others? And we responded gurus: your PC has a camera and a microphone so you can watch and talk to your colleagues. Working at home is much better.
course, I experienced then you work better, but it works much, much more. Because you can be producing until the wee hours of the morning. Those who work in an office go hit at 5.30 pm ...

But, very careful, this issue is not a new invention. Many people thought I can attest that this form has a solid history.
In the forties and fifties of the twentieth century work at home was a matter of daily living. Since no known imports of clothing, reigned in our tailors. In those years, these gentlemen of Penco became "America." Bought the fabric Tome and Bellavista. The stores acquired in factories or paid directly to the textile workers who regularly received a cut of cloth from her industry as a bonus for working hours. This stock made to provide variety to customers.
tailors Penco (Barrientos and Bustos mostly) attended their workshops pencones dozens of workers that were sent to make costumes. Barrientos Bustos and they took the measures, following cuts made molds of cardboard and handed the makings to vestoneras and trouser. That is, making out tailoring. Went to the homes of those workers that were responsible for encandelillar, sewing and ironing clothes. Were those women who took the risk of carrying the cut pieces to their homes where built pants and Vestone. Needless to say Barrientos Bustos and paid them what they wanted to stay with the infinitely thick cake. Neither estimate, or contract, or health for these workers.
The trouser vestoneras and gave their work on Friday afternoon after burning the tabs at their sewing machines crank. It was the time that Barrientos Bustos and exercising quality control. The seam Here, the buttons over there to iron sights. If the work was not approved, back to the house to unpick and sew again. Bitterness, because the pay was deferred. Made corrections workers tailors customers wearing their new clothes. Only then these women received their money so scarce that just gave them to survive.
Well, but the matter was that these women worked at home until late at night far exceeding all labor laws. If they were alive now they do not come with stories that it is better to work at home or is a new mode, specific to the XXI century. No. It was a very practical method for those tailors Penco years, as clothing, art, dedication, love for the clothing was not in the tailor, was in the houses of the seamstresses. "Today, anyone remember them?. I do.
