Flexibilização das relações de trabalho: Uma análise com os técnicos em enfermagem com contrato temporário no município de João Pessoa

Abstract

The present study is about an investigation into the working conditions of the nursing technicians hired temporarily by the Health Department of the Municipality of João People. Flexible contracts/temporary have long been used by the public sector supported on the argument of "temporary need of exceptional public interest". However, as could be observed in this study, the employment contract has been used to answer to a continued demand, resulting in decreased levels of social protection of labor, lower wages, without benefits and at higher levels of turnover. The contract labor for a specified time has grown in the public sector, creating a situation that contradicts the legislation currently in force, which prioritizes the opening contest of the Public Administration for admission personnel. Empirically, this study is based on qualitative research, made through a case study in the Municipal Health of João Pessoa. The study subjects were 10 nursing technicians on temporary contracts, 01 representative of the Health Department of the municipality responsible for hiring these professionals and 01 representative union. The methodological research took place in June 2012 and held through research literature, documentary and field study tours, subsidized by semistructured interview. Regarding the results of the survey, we sought to investigate the working conditions in which live these professionals, due to the relaxation of labor laws. The results showed that these professionals carry out their activities in the system of deregulation, which typically result in precarious work, characterized by the complete or partial absence of labor rights under various conditions, that involves unjust wages, excessive hours of work and attachment insecurity, factors that disadvantage workers.
