Abstract

This paper discusses outsourcing in the agribusiness sector of charcoal and its consequences in labor relations. The implementation of neoliberal policies and, therefore, state deregulation, vulnerability of economies from stagnation instability, new technological and economic requirements, among others, have driven restructuring in production models, leading to the emergence of Toyotism whose main purpose was leverage the production process, lower costs and shorter. The study directs the eye to the issue of outsourcing that guided by the fragmentation of the service sector enterprises, transfer them to third parties, who are responsible for managing particular activity as well as for hiring and paying workers. The research focuses on the northern region of Minas Gerais who suffered an intense and gradual change from the second half of the twentieth century because of State intervention which encouraged companies through reforestation, planting of Eucalyptus and charcoal production to take Minas Gerais today as one of the largest producers of charcoal in Brazil. Addresses the context of workers in the agro-sector charcoal. Under this scenario, we seek to highlight how labor outsourcing puts the worker in a vulnerable area endorsement with respect to labor rights minimally secured. In this context, firstly companies would be called "takers holding services in areas exploited for charcoal production, timber planting, cutting and carvonização of firewood, coal transport, the other side, the so-called contractors (individual or and legal) also commonly called "cats", usually small and micro-entrepreneurs, some without any financial stability, hired to "perform services" of coal, which included the hiring of labor, and therefore liability for tax, social security and labor costs involved in hiring. Judicial processes to identify parties involved were analyzed, ie, the borrower company and outsourced services contractor, through recruitment, right claimed, judgment in the case file in the First and Second Instances, if there was mutual condemnation / subsidiary taker services, processing time and finally what are the main mechanisms of wrongdoing, denial of rights and precarious.
