Starting from the dramatic vicissitudes of Ilva in Taranto, what is proposed is a genealogy of the mainstream conception according to which employment and sustainability should be seen as elements of an ineluctable aut-aut: either the former, or the latter. Through a critique of the well-known environmentalist argument about the apparent incompatibility between economic growth and physical biospheric limits, such a conception is linked to the modifications of workers' subjectivity in the course of the great transformation occurred between the 1960s and the 1970s. Subsequently, a case study - the "One Million Climate Jobs" campaign in South Africa - is discussed to show how the sharp opposition between environment and labour can be overcome by a virtuous, synthetic configuration of the two poles, in this context aimed at eradicating chronic unemployment} url={http://www.francoangeli.it/Riviste/Scheda_rivista.aspx?idArticolo=48291}, author={Emanuele Leonardi} pages={15-29}, language={IT}}
