Abstract

We highlight the importance of analyzing the situation of the military police in Paraiba, who can present conditions close to slavery. The theme that this research intends to address is the precariousness of the work of the military police in the state of Paraíba, which may come to constitute itself as a slavery for such workers. The theme is delimited in the study of labor relations and the precarious work of the Military Police in Paraíba. The problem with this research is: can the precarious work of the military police in Paraíba be characterized as slave labor? Thus, the hypothesis of this work is that the precarious work of the military police in Paraíba can be characterized as slave labor. The general objective of this work is to present a research on the precarious work of the military police in Paraíba. The first part of the work is characterized as a literature review, in which the bases Scielo, Portal of the Military Police and Google Academics were used for the investigation. The keywords used in the search were: “Slave Labor”, “Military Police”. "Paraíba" and "Precarious work". The primary sources of data collection for the theoretical framework will be articles, Theses, Dissertations, Military Police Portals and books that address the subject to be discussed in this work through searches on scientific platforms. For the case study, questionnaires were distributed via the Google questionnaire to the respondents. The survey included 164 respondents who work or served on the Paraíba Military Police. The identity of the participants was preserved and no names were reported in this research. Public policies of valorization of the Military Police are also required, as well as legal, psychological, medical assistance, pension reform, living wages so that the precariousness and contemporary enslavement of its workers no longer occurs. In the survey carried out with Military Police in the State of Paraíba, the precarious and enslaving situation of the Military Police was found through a questionnaire applied to 164 interviewees. Police officers facing high levels of stress reported problems such as depression, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, metabolic diseases, drug use, alcohol, burnout, dissatisfaction with work and even suicides. Another relevant factor is the length of service in the police, identified as a relevant factor in anthropometric changes, low levels of physical activity in free time, cardiovascular diseases and low quality of life.
