Five (05) production units were visited, one of which was chosen for the application of the questionnaire, as it is the only one with industrial production, the others. The method used to carry out the work was descriptive, which allows for greater measurement of reality. The results obtained point to a production characterized, mostly, by the artisanal form with the use of family labor and informality of work relations.
