Trabalho Precário: uma análise no contexto da agroindústria frigorífica brasileira

Abstract

Precarious work is still something that exists in the reality of today's workers, working in slaughterhouses is not exempt from this sad situation, experienced daily by many workers, who are subjected to conditions in which there is no concern for their health and labor rights. In this sense, the aim of this article is to analyze the precarious work conditions experienced by workers who work in the meatpacking agroindustry. To achieve the objective, a documental research on the subject was carried out, in order to seek information in the most varied types of channels published on the subject. The research result points out several situations in which working in meatpacking plants is in opposition to health and human dignity, since the worker in the meatpacking agroindustry is daily exposed to an exhaustive routine of repetition of various movements, associated with the use of sharp tools which can cause injuries and lacerations, putting their health and life at risk, in addition to the psychological suffering they are subjected to, due to the intensity of the demands and psychological pressure. The interest in working on this theme arose, as it was observed that there are few published academic works that relate the work carried out in slaughterhouses with precariousness.
