 Personal care workers in geriatric organizations in front of organizational prescriptions relating to quality 
The COVID-19 crisis has shed light on the central role of personal care workers in Long term care organizations in Quebec. This category of employees has suffered from many problems for several years : lack of attraction and retention, intensification of the workload... A major problem relates to their low participation in organizational decisions. The objective of this article is to analyse the constraint they undergo between what is required of them in terms of the quality of practices, and what is given to them in terms of resources. We carried out thirty life stories coupled with semi-structured interviews with former personal care workers who recently left their profession. Our results make it possible to collectively succeed that the agents are not structured (professional register, federation) which allow collective resistance against organizational constraints. Rather, their lack of participation leads to forms of individual disengagement, such absenteeism or resignation. Our critical reflection can make it possible to account for the heuristic character of the concept of epistemic inequality, not only in the context of feminist and / or postcolonial studies, but also in an organizational context.
