  • Descrição: Acli-Coif was founded in 1946 with the aim of organizing domestic workers at the national level. In the immediate postwar period, the development of this organization was shaped by the cold war & its impact on Italian politics. It was also shaped by a Catholic vision of women's role & by a typically Catholic approach to labor relations that underplayed the conflicting interests of social groups. In the 1970s, however, Acli-Coif rejected Catholic ideology & strategy & adopted a class-based approach to labor relations. At that time, migrant women were beginning to enter Italy in increasing numbers & were employed almost exclusively within the domestic work sector as live-in workers. The article examines the manner in which Acli-Colf responded to this new & different presence of women between the 1970s to the early 1990s. In the first phase of this period, Acli-Colf mainly concerned itself with class differences between domestic workers & their employers; at a later stage, given the presence of migrant domestic workers, the organization was forced to examine the relationship between gender, class, & ethnicity. The ideological evolution of the association is also examined: its development from a Catholic interclassist perspective to one of class antagonism to one of gender is charted. Whether this facilitated an appropriate response to the needs of migrant women is subject to question. 54 References. Adapted from the source document.
