In that context, the present work was dedicated specially to investigate the legal discussion related to the chronological time of work, notedly about the possibility of ampliation, by collective rule, of maximum level of intra journey interval foreseen in art.17, caput of CLT. Were used , to attainment the proposed goal, the bibliography search in books, periodicals and scientific magazines, beyond the test of preceding of the Superior Labor Court and field research consubstantiated in interviews realized with 400 workers linked at supermarket category and the hotels, bars and restaurants in Belém. The work is divided in three chapters and begins from the understanding of relation of environmental in general and environmental of labor and the relation with the work time, including from a historical perspective, that extends until today. The initial chapter also is dedicated to correlate work time with dignity from human person and the degrading work, besides to investigate the social function of working break and the reflexes to the life quality of worker and to the society as a whole. In the second chapter, the study falls on the legal prediction causing extend the labor interval and examining of your constitutionality, from a traditional hermeneutic, or by intermediate of a post positive exegesis. In sequence proceded the analysis of judged selected on jurisprudential search, coming from TST, from which the discussion moves to suggest the measures that could be adopted to modify the panorama jurisprudential that was pictured. Lastly, the third chapter, the research was dedicated to situate the existential damage in the universe of immaterial damages, conceptualizing and investigating the autonomy, to that, in the end, could to demonstrate the existential injury that was endured by workers in result of expansion the intraday interval, which was made starting the results obtained the field research with the categories selected.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Assédio moral como acidente de trabalho no meio ambiente laboral(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-06-22) BARROS, Nilson José Gomes; TUPINAMBÁ NETO, Hermes Afonso; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6942043480134802Bullying is a topic that is part of the study field of labor law by interfering in labor relations and affect the performance of worker rights. This paper sets clear and indicate alternatives that can contribute to a new interpretation of the rules punitive labor law, starting with a new look, a new vision, based on a proposal for improving the quality of life of the worker. We carried out an explanation in the first chapter, where we discuss bullying at work, highlighting the history of workers in Brazil, as well as the concept and characteristics of bullying at work, causation and evidence of bullying, dealing with this aspect of reversal of the burden of proof in harassment. We focus on bullying as illegal labor and how the issue is being addressed in Brazilian legislation. Introducing the possibility of joining with state regressive action against companies that practice bullying, and at the end of the chapter we will approach the organizational bullying. The second chapter will deal with aspects of the accident at work, showing its concept and its features, showing its consequences as aid-accident stability of accident, making explanations on liability for accidents at work and the issue of compensation for moral damage due to accident at work, at this point discuss the technical link epidemiological and necessity issued by the cat (on accident), making the analogy of the concepts of accidents at work and bullying. In the third chapter, we highlight several aspects of the work environment which is inserted into the natural environment and ecosystems, according to the Constitution of 1988, casts wide legislation that protects the environment of work, we consider also the guiding principles of the Law work, highlighting the protection, equality and freedom, demonstrating the need to promote human dignity that underlies the Constitution of 1988. In the fourth chapter, we show our thesis, that bullying is a kind of accident at work, in order that the conceptual similarities in that both cause injury to employees arising from employment relationship, and both have the same need , that causation of injury, will be reflected in the employment relationship. At this point, we will make a hermeneutic approach, in which scientific concepts are exposed on depression and burnout syndrome as occupational disease, arising from bullying. In the last chapter, we present some measures to prevent bullying at work, including the trade union actions, state, highlighting the important role of the Ministry of Labor, as well as some preventive measures that companies can take to prevent bullying taking in order that its consequences are disastrous for workers and for organizations. The methodology involved literature search, consulting on Internet sites and bills. We conclude that we need laws that are tough on combating and prevention of situations of bullying, as well as the reworking of management plans developed by planning agencies for the rehabilitation of organizations seeking to promote quality improvements in social relations at work are actions that believe will help to decrease the likelihood of bullying.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) O conceito normativo de pessoa com deficiência para fins de reserva de vagas no mercado de trabalho(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-06-16) RESQUE, João Daniel Daibes; BRITO FILHO, José Cláudio Monteiro de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7823839335142794This dissertation examines the concept of a person with provisions of national and international disability law, inquiring who the members of this vulnerable group who have reserved the right to the labor market vacancies, by the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the Law No. 8.112/90 and 8.213/91. This is a survey focusing on the implementation of affirmative action, specifically the quota system aimed at social inclusion of people with disabilities. Verifies the existence of a disputed issue concerning relative indeterminacy of who are the addressees of that measure. Thus , we bring to the debate the normative set of laws , decrees and international treaties that have sought to define people with disabilities , among whom Decree No. 3.298/99 and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities UN . But we also analyze the main theoretical references related to the universe of disability, occasion in which we explore the evolution of human and fundamental rights of this group, through the main paradigms and demands of the social movements, knowing well what are the foundations of such rights and how require equal treatment. We seek to clarify and undo the conceptual mess that was established in the Brazilian legal system over the past 25 years, through the dissemination of the above information. We aim to enable it to comply with certain affirmative action requirements of validity, including the duty of justice and efficiency in fundamental redistribution of resources. We emphasize that the duty of social inclusion , as well as the success of affirmative action, are subject to greater knowledge about the rights of this group , both by law operators, as other professionals from other disciplines, which should work together to identify relevant facts in the social context that make individuals more vulnerable and justify state protection through the quota system .Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Os conceitos de trabalho escravo contemporâneo na jurisprudência brasileira e na corte interamericana de direitos humanos: a busca da maior proteção ao trabalhador(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-07-05) HENRIQUES, Camila Franco; PAMPLONA, Danielle Anne; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1891159099589161; MESQUITA, Valena Jacob Chaves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2222933055414567The general objective of this research is to verify which of the concepts of contemporary slave labor best harmonizes with the pro homine principle. The chosen concepts were the used in Brazil and in the Inter-American System of Human Rights, based on the parameters used by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the Brazil Green Farmer’s Workers’ case. This is because slavery has been a social practice since antiquity, but despite all legislative and political developments to face it, this violation perpetuates itself, making urgent to seek new mechanisms to improve this combat. With the current legal logic between the national and international orders it is necessary that in the existence of two (or more) norms or interpretations, jurists identify which one of them best protects the human being, considering that after the Second World War, the dignity of the human person was adopted as the basic legal principle, culminating in a system in which the man is its central element. Therefore, the parameters for the comparison of the concepts used were taken from the principle of dignity. The present work is written in the form of a dissertation and used qualitative dialectic research based on national and international bibliographical and jurisprudential sources. The results showed that, based on the set of parameters proposed in this paper, the interpretation and application of the concept of contemporary slavery of the Inter- American Court of Human Rights should be used as a precedent. However, the best result for the protection of the individual is through the dialogue between the Brazilian and the Inter-American orders.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Direito à intimidade do empregado e o poder de direção do empregador: abrangência e limites(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012) LIMA, Vanessa Diniz Alcântara Fonteles de; NASSAR, Rosita de Nazaré Sidrim; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2092928958819725The research developed in the context of the employment relations and deals with the limits and scope of the right to intimacy and privacy of the employee and the employer’s power of direction. That as a fundamental right guaranteed by the Brazilian Constitution to all citizens, and this as a mechanism essential for the development of management activities under a contract of employment, such as hiring, supervising, establish regulations, punish, among others. The first features based on the art. 5, X of the Constitution of 1988-CF/1988, and second, in art 2 of the Consolidation of Labor Laws – CLT. The subject is relevant, mainly by finding limits to the employer’s direction, imposed by duty to respect the fundamental rights to employee. Another sort, this also has limitations on the existence of such rights in the course of their work activities due to the character of subordination inherent in the employment contract. The present study makes an analysis of principles and fundamentals of the rights in question, with the final guidelines on the composition of possible conflicts concerning the proposed topic.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) O direito fundamental ao meio ambiente do trabalho equilibrado em face da monetarização dos riscos: a análise do caso dos trabalhadores do Projeto Salobo desenvolvido no Sudeste do Pará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-04-28) VIEIRA, Lucas Rodrigues; NASSAR, Rosita de Nazaré Sidrim; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2092928958819725The present dissertation deals with the problems related to the ineffectiveness of the fundamental right to the environment of work, especially due to the adoption of a purely monetarizing policy of risks that is only concerned with financially compensating workers for exposure to agents harmful to their life and health, As verified in the labor demands related to the Salobo Project developed in the Southeast of Pará. Thus, the main objective of the work is to verify the legal instruments that can be used to promote a healthy labor habitat for employees, as a way of protecting physical integrity and consequently reduce the rates of industrial accidents and occupational diseases, to the detriment of discussions restricted to the imposition of additional remuneration (additional to insalubrity and dangerousness) that do not serve to encourage the adoption of medical norms and security job. For this, the dissertation carried out a survey of the doctrine and the national and international legal order, as well as qualitatively analyzed four judicial processes of the Salobo Project judged by the Regional Labor Court (TRT) of the 8th Region in the last two years. The work was constructed in three chapters. The first chapter addressed the definition, characteristics, and functions of fundamental law norms, based on the thoughts of Robert Alexy. Subsequently, historical, conceptual and legal aspects related to the work environment. The second chapter discussed the formation of the risk society, according to Ulrich Beck's theory. After that, the main risks arising from the work activity were discussed and the policy of mere monetization of environmental risks at work was discussed. Finally, the third chapter examined the working conditions of workers in the Salobo project developed in Southeastern Pará, based on lawsuits that were processed in the TRT of the 8th Region, and pointed out the alternatives to the realization of the fundamental right to the environment of balanced work. In conclusion, the research verified that the workers of the mentioned project were exposed to risks to their well-being, but only monetizing instruments were used that do not alter the conditions of the working environment, not making use of preventive and precautionary measures, such as, for example, inhibitory tutelages combined with temporary emergency orders.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Homossexualidade e discriminação no mercado de trabalho(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) BATALHA, Glaucia Fernanda Oliveira Martins; BRITO FILHO, José Cláudio Monteiro de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7823839335142794Notwithstanding the major transformations in world economy and all advances in technology, Brazil is still a country marked by contrasts, bearing an authoritarian and conservative tradition. This can be clearly observed in the struggle to reduce discrimination against sexual minorities. Even with the fundamental rights written explicitly in the National Constitution, those vulnerable groups still find themselves marginalised, for it is hardly possible to visualize in the Brazilian State, true laicism and democratic order able to promptly guarantee those rights. Ensuring that homosexuals have the right to express their sexual orientation in any given situation, mainly in the work environment, is nothing more than to abide by the fundamental principles written in the constitution as well as following the principles declared in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The present work will narrow its scope to the study of the discrimination against sexual orientation in the work environment, further restricting its analysis on the discrimination against homosexuals only, namely, gays and lesbians.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) O meio ambiente de trabalho em tempos de desenvolvimento: a aplicação das convenções nº 148, 161 e 167 da OIT no caso Belo Monte(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-05-02) GONÇALVES, Caio César Gadelha Moreira; NASSAR, Rosita de Nazaré Sidrim; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2092928958819725The paradigmatic transition of the enforcement of labor rights related to employee health offers circumstances in which the law is still reluctant to comply with them. This article analyzes the impacts of internationalization of International Labor Conventions n. 148, 161 and 167, coming from the International Labor Organization and what changes are necessary to the working environment in the Brazilian legal system. The problem of this work rests on the use of market asymmetries for the construction of large development projects, executed at any cost. The work has as background the internalization of the ILO conventions as legal innovation necessary to overcome the chronic conditions of violations to the work environment. The use of these instruments strengthens a new juridical rationality, in view of the problematic that occurs when taking into account the social complexity, since these international instruments must be used to break with the internal legal factors that do not offer the solution of this factual picture. Lastly, it was examined what are the reflexes by inserting these international documents from the new legal rationality that serves as a parameter of evolution so that the Internal Law can follow the phenomenon of the International Protection of Human Rights.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Monetização dos riscos no meio ambiente do trabalho uma leitura a partir do liberalismo igualitário(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014) TAVARES, Sílvia Gabriele Corrêa; NASSAR, Rosita de Nazaré Sidrim; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2092928958819725This thesis analyses the Risks Monetization in the Work Environment – phenomenon that authorizes the financial compensation for the worker due to his exposure to risks existing in the place of work –, which is done by the optics of the Egalitarian Liberalism of John Rawls and Ronald Dworkin. The first chapter analyses and compares the liberal egalitarian theories presented by John Rawls and Ronald Dworkin with the Economic Analysis of the Law theory of Richard Posner. The second chapter demonstrates which are the brazilian juridical practices related to the risks monetization. The third chapter makes a norm and principles based analysis in order to answer if it is necessary to reform those practices, analyzing, yet, which are the obstacles for the effective workers protection.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) A prescrição nas ações de acidente de trabalho sob o enfoque da proteção à saúde do trabalhador(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-07-08) MEIRA, Armando Dayverson Pegado; NASSAR, Rosita de Nazaré Sidrim; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2092928958819725The prescription is an institute of legal science that imposes time limit for the holder of a subjective right to claim satisfaction of their right.

For that, was realized a doctrinal study was carried out on the concept of contemporary slave labor in Brazil and yours respective executive modalities. Also been investigated as interpretive currents about to the issue. The field research was carried out from the TRF's jurisprudence of the 3rd Region, be realized an investigative study was carried out on the characterization of slave labor and the elements that is used by TRF inside the cases that are submitted. The method used was the Deductive Method there was based on the analysis of the information obtained in the field research, confronted with the theoretical arguments and with the legal norms, as from an logical reasoning in order to reach the conclusion of the question proposed. The results showed that the TRF of the 3 rd Region, interpret the concept of slave work based on the protection of the dignity of the human person, in a way unrelated to the restriction of the freedom of locomotion. However, in spite of a high incidence of convictions in this court, it was found that the definitive criminal penalty is fixed, in low magnitude in most cases, and, for this has been replaced anothers criminal penaltys so much soft, thare have no condicions to repress sufficiently and appropriately the criminals.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) O trabalho escravo contemporâneo como fator de descumprimento da função social da propriedade rural(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-09-18) MELO, Herena Neves Maués Corrêa de; TRECCANI, Girolamo Domenico; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4319696853704535This study aims to analyze the non fulfilment of the homestead social function linked to the reduction of the number of workers in a condition akin to slaves, considering that the Federal constitution of 1988 indicated the human being dignity fundamental for the democratic State of Right, as well as it emphasized, in the set of requirements for the fulfillment of the property social function, art. 186, the observance of laws that regulate the labor relations and the exploration in order to promote the proprietor’s and the workers’ well-beig. In this study, the homestead social function is analyzed as an element inherent to the recent concept of property right. Considering the property social function as structural to the property right, that is to say, the agrarian property right exists to fulfil a necessary function for the society. The inobservance of this social-functionality, drives the related right to its proper extinction, and it takes back from the State the obligation to protect the condition of proprietor of the one who does not fulfil. According to this, the expropriation of properties where the workers are in condition akin to slaves would be a suggestion to invigorate the dogma of the homestead right. Concerning to the property social function, it is necessary to understand the concept of this principle, selected by the Brazilian Political Letter in several articles. It is a plastic concept that can vary according to the objectives defined by the State as possibilities of environmental-economical-social development. So, the approach of this study has the objective to observe the humanity values in a detailed way, based on the Republican Letter, and focusing on the content of the property right and the human being’s dignity.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Trabalho escravo e aliciamento: proposta para a regularização da relação jurídica de emprego(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-09-20) NEVES, Débora Maria Ribeiro; BRITO FILHO, José Cláudio Monteiro de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7823839335142794This work on slavery labor is based upon general and constitutional principles’ analysis which heads the theme, mainly the principle of human dignity, in which is discussed the characterizing hypotheses of the crime of labor’s retrenchment to the slavery’s analogous condition, the covered legal goods, and possible manners to combat this practice. From this viewpoint, we focus the research on forms of state’s preventive action, in order to promote social inclusion of workers. Since it is approached the issue of slavery labor, we discuss mechanisms of social inclusion through suitable actions to curb the practice of slavery labor at the enticement’s time of manpower. The present research has major aim of drawing attention to the problem we still experience nowadays into Brazilian countryside, demonstrating the need of acting effectively against this practice of centuries that concerns in subjecting the human being to subhuman conditions of life, by overexploitation of labor, in order to restrain this crime from the enticement’s time and not only by repressive measures as the rescue. In other words, we advocate the necessity for action at the moment of slavery a priori – in recruitment. Study is structured around three chapters, the first one approaches the theoretical-juridical understanding of slavery labor, analyzing the crime under international, constitutional and criminal view; the second one deals with the analysis of measures of state’s repressive action, providing for labor and criminal comprehensions in jurisprudence regarding the theme, whose judgments have been selected mainly in Pará; and the third chapter brings the investigation of preventive action methods as way to combat slavery labor and promote social inclusion, taking its course in detail onto characteristics of illegal enticement of workers, proposing at the final of this dissertation, the previous regulation of working relationship, turning illegal enticement into regular employment contract.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Trabalho escravo urbano na construção civil: condições degradantes e a experiência do operariado vinculado ao sindicato dos trabalhadores da indústria da construção civil e em frentes de obras em Belém do Pará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-05-20) MARTINS, Omar Conde Aleixo; BRITO FILHO, José Cláudio Monteiro de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7823839335142794This work is situated in the context of legal discussion about the labor analogous to slavery in its urban occurrence, bringing to debate the issue of forced labor in civil construction, specifically by one of the crime execution modes, namely the degrading conditions work. Thus, the main objective of the research was to investigate to what extent the social and legal reality of work of construction workers in Belém/PA, from the very perception of these about their social rights, appears as forced labor urban under the focus of degrading conditions. Was used to achieve the proposed objective, the literature search in books, periodicals and journals, as well as a case study concerning forced labor in civil construction, recognized judicially, in the city of Americana/SP; finally, closing the methodological framework, we used the field research through interviews structured and interviews by guidelines with members of state institutions devoted to combat slave labor, and, especially, with civil construction workers to work fronts in Belém/PA and the head office of the Labor Union category, in the same city. The work is divided into three chapters and begins with a visit to the sociological understanding around the city and its impacts in urban labor relations, succeeding a discussion about the slave labor in Brazil and its theoretical and normative pillars, both those from the international standards, as those derived from art. 149 of the Penal Code, which defines the delict device to reduce others to work analogous to slavery, ending with reflections on the essentially urban manifestation of the delict under investigation. Secondly, again moves by the sociological universe to capture some capitalist components of contemporary industry, in addition to the implications arising from the social profile of the slave worker and the typical civil construction worker; closes the chapter with an analysis on the legal concept of degrading conditions and the case study that once announced on forced labor in civil construction. Finally, in the third chapter, we present the field research carried out and the reflections and conclusions drawn from the research as well as a discussion of coping policies to modern-day slavery, their effectiveness and what may be proposed from the crime of study in its urban occurrence, more precisely, in civil construction. The research found that, even if the working conditions of workers interviewed did not characterize submission to degrading conditions, several peculiarities of the service in civil construction need to be considered in assessing, or not, of degrading work, as they may represent aspects of social rights violations and, depending on the case, affront to decent work and the dignity of the human person, grounds protected by the seal to undergo a human being to degrading working conditions.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) O Tribunal Superior do Trabalho e o meio ambiente do trabalho: análise qualitativa da jurisprudência relativa ao trabalho em minas(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013) ROCHA, Maria de Nazaré Medeiros; NASSAR, Rosita de Nazaré Sidrim; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2092928958819725The present paper aims to analyze the performance of the Superior Labor Court (“TST”) through its case law on workplace environment, particularly concerning mining work, pursuant to identify the points of compatibility and / or incompatibility with the doctrinal protection given to the workplace environment. For this paper we used cases selected by the TST’s Jurisprudence Coordination, in consequence of Resolution n° 96 of the Supreme Council of the Labour Court, adopted in March 24th, 2012, that institutionalized the Safe Work Program. The Coordinator of Jurisprudence of the TST determined the criteria in which the categories were separated. The chosen period comprised from 2000 to the first quarter of 2013, and it was used as search criteria the term "Mining Companies" with several key cases, such as: i) outsourcing of mining activities; ii) subsidiary liability of the mining company when there are services related to its core business; iii) implementation of strict liability in case of accidents at the workplace, since mining is considered a risk driven activity; iv) impossibility of “Collective Norm” to reduce the deadline established in the art. 118 of Federal Law n° 8.213/1991; v) suppression of any breaks provided in art. 298 of the Labor Code; vi) establishment of a proportionate system - based on the length of exposure to outstanding risk - for the compliance with the mandatory additional hazard payment; vii) impossibility of compensation or extension of working hours without permission of the competent authority on hygiene and safety; and, finally, viii) non observance of the provisions of art. 58, § 1 of the Labor Code or of the Ruling n° 366/TST in regards to the time spent by the employees to move from the beginning of mine to their workplace and vice versa. Based on the results of such research, it was identified the most common arguments listed in the cases, referring to the protection of the workplace environment.
