The Author shows that confrontation with solitude at work cannot be avoided. The feeling of solitude is triggered by both working conditions and decision making. As far as working condi-tions are involved, new technologíes, the reduction of the time spent at work and precarious employment are among the causes of solitude. Solitude on decision making, on the other hand, ínvolves the exercise of executive as well as managerial powers. There is, however, as the Author demonstrates, a strategy to overcome soli-tude at work. This can be done through the promotion of commu-nícation between workers. The cohesion among workers can be increased by instruments such as workers' representatives, indivi¬dual assistance in the disputes with management, unions' assistan-ce in legal actions, and through the free exercíse of civil rights at work both at an individual and collective level.
