| Summary: | This paper investigates seasonal seaside tourism in Eastern Veneto. On one hand, drawing on literature about labour exploitation forms, it examines critical issues and labor standard violations within the sector, focusing on wages, supervision, work rhythms, and segmentation along the lines of gender, migration status, and age. On the other hand, the paper explores individual resistance, particularly through the various exit and quitting strategies employed by workers. This scenario underscores the need to complement individual forms of resistance —recognized as pivotal — with new union interventions and institutional actions to regulate working conditions.
