Abstract
This essay has as main objective to problematize changes occurred in the work of teachers and private school teachers in the context of a pandemic and its relationship with health. It presents new forms of resistance and collective organization, such as the virtual strike, from the point of view of the teachers themselves who are in remote teaching activities and also in the exercise of union leadership. It was built in a shared way, between professors and researchers. It is based on Freire’s critical and dialogical pedagogy, whose processes value mutual and emancipatory formation. From the dialogues undertaken during the construction of the text, we come to four important points of analysis and problematization, namely: teaching work in times of social isolation; changes in the work process and organization; generational aspects and gender issues; teaching health, resistance and virtual strike. In the end, it is observed that the type of teaching activity, not in person, through platforms and other digital resources, constitutes a current configuration of work that deepens in the context of a pandemic and makes exacerbated use of technology, articulating new control modes, extraction of overwork and social added value.
