Recentes estratégias da ação sindical rural em Alagoas / Recent strategies of union activity in rural Alagoas

Costa, Francymaikel Alves Oliveira 26 March 2013 (has links)
This paper analyzes the recent strategies of union activity in rural Alagoas notably from the Federation of Agricultural Workers of Alagoas – FETAG-AL - the period that includes the last two administrations (2006-2013). The survey was produced through the specialized bibliography, documents the federation itself, collective conventions of rural workers, journals, newspapers, magazines and thematic interviews drawn from specialized sites on the subject. From this, we demonstrate the emergence and structure of rural unionism in Brazil and in Alagoas justifying their union practices over the decades. Here is how the various government programs to encourage the sugarcane sector, as Proálcool, influence on union practices. Concomitantly reported the dismantling of this structure by state and the one hand mills and distilleries had to reshape the face of productive restructuring, on the other hand, union action suffered a setback in its representation to rural workers against neoliberal policies and relaxation of labor laws. The consolidation of new perspectives and new productive morphology at work at the beginning of the XXI century, leads us to realize that union action in the state of Alagoas has undergone considerable structural change. The FETAG-AL has turned to new demands emerging claim and representation as a family farming, rural housing and categories on the rise as young people, women and seniors. The Federation has organized courses, seminars, conferences and public demonstrations as a means of effecting their trade union action. / Este trabalho analisa as recentes estratégias da ação sindical rural em Alagoas notadamente a partir da Federação dos Trabalhadores da Agricultura de Alagoas – FETAG-AL – no período que compreende as duas últimas gestões (2006-2013). A pesquisa foi produzida através de bibliografia especializada, documentos da própria federação, convenções coletivas dos trabalhadores rurais, periódicos, jornais impressos, revistas temáticas e entrevistas extraídas de sites especializados do assunto. A partir disso, demonstramos a emergência e estrutura do sindicalismo rural no Brasil bem como em Alagoas justificando suas práticas sindicais no decorrer das décadas. Apresentamos como os diversos programas governamentais de incentivo ao setor sucroalcooleiro, como o Proálcool, influenciaram nas práticas sindicais. Concomitantemente relatamos o desmonte dessa estrutura estatal e se por um lado, as usinas e destilarias tiveram que se remodelar diante da reestruturação produtiva, por outro lado, a ação sindical sofria um recuo em sua representação aos assalariados rurais ante a política neoliberal e a flexibilização das leis trabalhistas. A consolidação das novas perspectivas produtivas bem como a nova morfologia no trabalho no início do século XXI, nos leva a perceber que a ação sindical no Estado de Alagoas tem sofrido considerável mudança estrutural. A FETAG-AL tem se voltado para novas demandas que surgem e reclamam por representação como a agricultura familiar, habitação rural e categorias em ascensão como jovens, mulheres e terceira idade. A Federação tem organizado cursos, seminários, conferências e mobilizações públicas como forma de efetivar sua ação sindical.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Santos_AdrianoPereira_D.pdf: 3630890 bytes, checksum: 1ee48379b58d4cfbec1fa55da011ca13 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: O objeto de análise do presente trabalho é a expansão do agronegócio canavieiro no Brasil que surgiu como parte de um novo padrão de acumulação do capital, com as novas perspectivas de crescimento decorrentes de um conjunto de fatores, dentre os quais se destacam: o aparecimento dos carros flex-fuel; o alto preço e escassez do petróleo; as exigências dos protocolos e acordos ambientais em reduzir a emissão de CO2 na atmosfera; e as novas demandas dos países por combustíveis limpos e renováveis. Essa conjuntura favorável não desencadeou apenas a expansão recente do agronegócio canavieiro no Brasil, mas também engendrou a sua reestruturação produtiva, o que o colocou numa posição de destaque no cenário econômico nacional e internacional. Assim, o setor passou a ser defendido como um modelo sustentável de desenvolvimento econômico, tanto porque se modernizou e desenvolveu novas tecnologias geradoras de energia limpa e renovável, como também, porque vem ocupando a liderança nos índices das exportações brasileiras nos últimos anos. Todavia, o seu desenvolvimento é contraditório. Pois, ao mesmo tempo em que ele opera formas moderníssimas de produção, baseadas na automação industrial e na engenharia genética, verifica-se a presença de formas degradantes e condições precárias de trabalho, bem como a destruição ambiental, provocadas por formas deletérias de exploração dos recursos naturais. Ademais, é possível perceber que o agronegócio, ao se estruturar no latifúndio, na monocultura e na superexploração do trabalho, reproduz elementos que caracterizam uma economia de tipo colonial, considerada atrasada e subdesenvolvida. O objetivo dessa pesquisa é investigar e apreender as condições e relações de trabalho dos cortadores de cana, as características do agronegócio e seus dilemas e contradições na região Ribeirão Preto-SP. Por meio de uma ampla análise de dados e informações coletadas, e pesquisa empírica qualitativa direta, buscou-se apreender os dilemas e contradições atuais do modelo de desenvolvimento do agronegócio canavieiro. Segundo nossos estudos, a atual expansão do setor no Brasil, instaurou novas formas de exploração e controle sobre a força de trabalho, o que garantiu, por um lado, uma maior acumulação, especialmente do capital estrangeiro, que invadiu o setor, com a mundialização do capital, mas, por outro, ao intensificar a exploração e degradar as condições de trabalho, trouxe com ela a morte e o adoecimento dos trabalhadores. Isso nos permite dizer que, em nome da lógica destrutiva da expansão e acumulação incessante do capital, o agronegócio opera como um "moinho satânico" que tritura e corrói não apenas as condições de vida e trabalho, mas o corpo e a physis do trabalhador. Portanto, concluímos que a partir da superexploração do trabalho, o Brasil ocupa atualmente, no mercado internacional, uma posição subordinada e dependente como um dos maiores produtores de agrocombustíveis e commodities do mundo, reproduzindo assim, por meio da presença do capital estrangeiro, as ?estruturas históricas da dependência? de um regime de exploração neocolonial. Por essa razão o agronegócio canavieiro não pode ser defendido como modelo de desenvolvimento econômico / Abstract: The object of analysis of this work is the expansion of the sugarcane agribusiness in Brazil that emerged as part of a new pattern of accumulation of capital, with the new perspectives of growth due to a number of factors, among which are: the emergence of the flex-fuel cars, the high price and the scarcity of petroleum, the requirements of environmental agreements and protocols to reduce the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere, and the new demands of countries for clean and renewable fuels. This favorable situation not only triggered the recent expansion of sugarcane agribusiness in Brazil, but also engendered its restructuring process, which put it in a prominent position in the national and international economic scenario. Thus, the sector is now advocated as a sustainable model of economic development, because it is modernized and also developed new technologies that generate clean and renewable energy, but also because it has been occupying the leading indices of Brazilian exports in recent years. However, its development is contradictory. Because, while it operates the most modern ways of production, based on industrial automation and genetic engineering, there is the presence of degrading and poor working conditions and also the environmental destruction caused by harmful forms of exploitation of natural resources. Moreover, one can see that agribusiness, when structures itself on the landowners, on monoculture and overexploitation of labor, reproduces elements that characterize an economy back to the colonial times, considered backward and underdeveloped. The goal of this research is to investigate and apprehend the conditions and the labor relations of cane cutters, the characteristics of agribusiness and its dilemmas and contradictions in Ribeirão Preto region. Through a comprehensive analysis of data and information collected, and a direct qualitative empirical research, we sought to capture the dilemmas and the current contradictions in the model of development of the agribusiness. According to our studies, the current expansion of the sector in Brazil, introduced new forms of exploitation and control over the workforce, which guaranteed, on the one hand, a greater accumulation, especially of foreign capital, which stormed the industry with a globalization of the capital, but on the other hand, in intensifying the exploitation and the degrading working conditions, brought the death and the illness of the workers. This allows us to say that on behalf of the destructive logic of the expansion and the ceaseless accumulation of capital, the agribusiness operates as a "satanic mill" that grinds and erodes not only the conditions of life and work, but the body and the physis of the workers. Therefore, we conclude that from the overexploitation of labor, Brazil is currently, on the international market, in a subordinate and dependent position as one of the major producers of biofuels and commodities in the world, thus reproducing, through the presence of foreign capital, "the historic structures of dependency" of a system of neo-colonial exploitation. Therefore, the sugarcane agribusiness cannot be defended as a model of economic development / Doutorado / Sociologia / Doutor em Sociologia

An investigation into the neurological and neurobehavioural effects of long-term agrichemical exposure among deciduous fruit farm workers in the Western Cape, South Africa

London, Leslie 19 April 2017 (has links)
It is increasingly being recognised that agrichemical exposure may have adverse chronic health effects in humans, particularly on central nervous system function. However, much of this evidence sterns from studies relating to the effects of acute intoxications (i.e. short-term high dose exposures) and little data exist on the chronic effects of long-term low-dose exposures to agrichemicals in the absence of acute poisoning. Such a finding would have substantial public health implications for prevention and control of chronic morbidity and mortality. This is particularly important in South Africa, where a sizeable portion of the rural population are employed in agricultural work, often under extremely unhealthy living and working conditions, and where occupational agrichemical exposures appear to be substantial. To address this question, this study investigated the prevalence of neurological and neurobehavioural abnormalities amongst 247 fruit farm workers in the Kouebokkeveld in the Western Cape, of whom 163 were current agrichemical applicators. Outcomes measured included neurological symptoms, peripheral vibration sense, motor tremor, as well as performance on the World Health Organisation Neurobehavioural Core Test Battery (WHO NCTB) and a set of neurobehavioural tests based on the Information Processing model of cognitive psychology. These latter tests have been developed in South Africa for subjects of low educational levels and aim to by-pass the powerful effects of culture that complicate traditional neuropsychological testing, which may mask the smaller effects due to occupational chemical exposures. Cumulative, and average lifetime intensity of exposure to organophosphates were estimated using a job- exposure matrix based on a combination of secondary industry data, interview reports and farmer records. Confounders measured included age, education, smoking and alcohol habits, non-occupational exposure to agrichemicals and other potential neurotoxins, past medical history and usage of personal protective equipment. The study results confirmed low levels of education and high alcohol consumption amongst the sample of farm workers. Multiple logistic and linear regression were used to identify exposure-effect relationships and to control for confounding. Neurological symptoms were significantly associated with a history of previous pesticide poisoning, although this may have arisen as a result of reporting bias. Vibration sense and the neurobehavioural tests exhibited associations with established covariates, and regression modelling of the WHO NCTB tests was remarkably similar to findings in another study of solvent-exposed factory workers in South Africa. None of the vibration sense, tremor or neurobehavioural outcomes were associated with past agrichemical poisoning in the sample, and only two tests showed significant relationships with long-term occupational exposure. These included the Pursuit Aiming subtest of the WHO NCTB and one of the tests of long-term semantic memory in the Information Processing tests. However, the strength of these the associations were small (partial r²s less than 2%) and these findings may have occurred due to chance arising from multiple comparisons. The neurobehavioural tests based on the Information Processing model appeared to offer little improvement on the WHO NCTB in terms of being less sensitive to cultural effects, although some evidence was present that tests of semantic access were able to detect occupational effects and were less sensitive to education. The absence of a demonstrable and consistent long-term agrichemical exposure-effect relationship appears to suggest that long-term agrichemical exposure is not associated with adverse chronic nervous system effects, although the lack of organophosphate specificity in construction of exposure indices in the job-exposure matrix may partly contribute to this finding. Recommendations to improve the characterisation of agrichemical exposures at farming work place are made, as well as suggestions concerning the role of biological monitoring for agrichemicals, improving working and living conditions on South African farms, and methods of neurological and neurobehavioural assessment in occupational health.

Recorre-se a entrevistas realizadas com acampados/as, assentados/as, militantes homens e mulheres inserido(a)s na luta pela terra naquela região; à sistemática ín loco como principal meio de burlar as dificuldades que muito(a)s têm com o gravador; e à vasta bibliografia crítica sobre o assunto. Ao longo da pesquisa, foram identificados dois momentos e espaços diferentes de participação feminina na luta pela terra. O primeiro corresponde à fase do acampamento, em que se começa a viver coletivamente sob as regras materializadas no chamado "regimento interno", que estabelecem os "códigos" de conduta de cada membro do acampamento, com novas aprendizagens podendo levar à ruptura das cercas de gênero. O segundo é o do assentamento. Este representa um desfecho positivo para os sem terra contra o monopólio do latifúndio. É o momento de um novo processo que implica criar condições para a permanência na terra conquistada. No entanto, o que se verifica são condições precárias de assentamentos revelando que estes se tomaram uma estratégia para amenizar conflitos sociais. Uma vez no assentamento, aspectos econômicos e tecnológicos adquirem formas em que o tempo e o espaço são regidos pelo modo de produção dominante. Para além da sobrevivência, é necessário produzir para pagar os empréstimos feitos junto ao Estado, ao banco, etc. A luta para permanecer na terra se toma imediatista e o aspecto econômico se impõe e acentua retomo da velha divisão sexual do trabalho, colocando em xeque as aprendizagens de gênero durante os anos de luta nos acampamentos. Frente a estas dificuldades, o MST propõe novos modelos de assentamento que permitam combinar independência, com relação do modo de produção dominante, e novas relações que permitam eliminar as trincheiras machistas do movimento / Abstract: This study examines the forms of women's participation in the Movement of Landless Rural Workers (MST) in the Pontal do Paranapanema region. It employs interviews with squatters, settlers, and male and female militants involved in the struggle for land in that region; the in loco system as the principal means for overcoming the difficulties that many have with tape recording; and the vast critical literature on the subject. During the course of the research two different spaces and moments of feminine participation in the struggle for land were identified. The first corresponds to the encampment phase, during which participants being to live collectively under the rules of the so-called "internal regimen," which establish the "codes" of conduct for each member of the encampment. New lessons learned during this phase can lead to the breaking down of gender barriers. The second phase is the settlement. This represents a positive outcome for the landless against the monopoly of the large landholding. It is the beginning of a new process that implies creating conditions for staying on the land that has been conquered. Nonetheless, what we observe are precarious conditions that reveal that the settlements have become a strategy to quel! social conflicts. In the settlement economic and technological conditions take on forms in which time and space are shaped by the dominant mode of production. Beyond surviving it is necessary to produce in order to pay the loans received from the state, the bank, etc. The struggle to stay on the land becomes the immediate :priority and the economic aspect imposes itself and brings back the old sexual division of labor, putting in check the gender leaming experiences of the years of struggle in the encampments. In the face of these difficulties, the MST proposes new models of settlement which allow independence in relation to the dominant mode of production to be combined with new relations that make it possible to eliminate the barriers of male chauvinism within the movement / Doutorado / Doutor em Ciências Sociais

O primeiro sobre a realidade dos assentamentos rurais de reforma agrária no Brasil ligados ao MST (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais SemTerra), que despertam diferentes interpretações e polêmicas. Uma das principais diz respeito à questão dos processos democráticos de tomada de decisão nos assentamentos, envolvendo as relações entre base e lideranças. O segundo sobre o debate em torno do tema do avanço ou retrocesso do processo de secularização, destacandose justamente o caso da sociedade brasileira. A união das duas polêmicas surgiu nos estudos que venho realizando nos assentamentos da cidade de SumaréSP, principalmente no chamado Assentamento II. Durante a pesquisa foram constatadas as relações que existem entre os valores religiosos e os valores envolvidos tanto na organização de luta pela conquista da terra como nas estratégias de sobrevivência dentro dos assentamentos. Na análise de tal aproximação de valores empreguei as perspectivas analíticas e teóricas da sociologia rural e da sociologia da religião, tendo como ponto de partida duas questões básicas: Existe democracia no processo de formação e manutenção dos assentamentos de reforma agrária? Existe um processo de secularização em curso irrevogável na sociedade brasileira? As respostas isoladas propostas para tais perguntas têm sido extremadas dentro dos debates. Pretendese aqui, partindo de uma perspectiva fundamentalmente weberiana, propor uma resposta nova, através da unificação das duas temáticas / Abstract: This work deals with two big debates. The first concerns on the reality of rural settlements of agrarian reform in Brazil linked to the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST), which attract different interpretation and controversy. A key question concerns to the democratic processes of decision making in this settlements, involving the relationship between his basis and leaderships. The second concerns on the debate around the theme of the secularization process advance or goes back, point out the case of Brazilian society. The union of the these two controversies arose in the studies I have been doing in the settlements of the city of SumaréSP, mainly in the socalled Settlement II. During the research it was found the relationships between religious values and the values involved even in the organization of the fight for the land conquest and in the strategies for survival within the settlements. In the analysis of such values approximation I use the theoretical and analytical perspectives of rural sociology and of the religion sociology, taking two basic questions as the starting point: Is there democracy in the formation process of agrarian reform settlements and in their posterior organization? Is there an irrevocable ongoing process of secularization in Brazilian society? The isolate answers to these questions have been put in extremes inside the debates. It is my intend here, from a Weberian perspective fundamentally, to propose a new response, through the unification of these two themes / Doutorado / Doutor em Sociologia
