Resquícios da escravidão: reflexões das relações de trabalho no estado da Paraíba de 2010 2023.

Abstract

In Brazil, although slavery has become illegal since 1888, there are currently, in a masked way, some work relationships that have conditions analogous to slavery. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the continuity of work analogous to slavery in the state of Paraíba to understand the reason for the persistence of these archaic remnants in labor relations in the municipalities of João Pessoa, Campina Grande and Salgadinho. This research is based on the analysis of a legal process and reports. The question is: what are the practices of social actors as workers and employers and what defines work analogous to slavery. Finally, this research, as it focuses on a subject that is still little discussed, has the intention of promoting and discussing the formulation of social policies for the benefit of the working class. In this way, the discussion of the theme also has the purpose of drawing attention to the need to value better working conditions.
