abstract: Interviews of nine managers within the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division's Western Region were conducted by a researcher who also works as a Wage and Hour Investigator. The intention of this research was to survey the differences in trafficking-related training and experience throughout the region, to examine the role of the Wage and Hour Division in human trafficking casework, and to explore potential areas for growth. This thesis recommends that upper level agency management produces standards for training, interagency engagement, and procedures and also provides suggestions for best practices and effective enforcement. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. Social Justice and Human Rights 2011

A minha pesquisa faz uma nova aproximação, a partir de perspectiva trazida por fontes inéditas, revelando um aspecto ainda não estudado: a criação do MTIC encontrou no estado de São Paulo, um órgão que exercia funções similares, justamente ali, onde a reação ao governo federal assumiu aspectos de guerra civil. O Departamento Estadual do Trabalho (DET) existia naquele estado desde 1911, possuía forte estrutura, foi modelar para o próprio MTIC e protagonizou episódios curiosos que bem refletem as tensões no processo de centralização política e econômica, no plano federal, que ainda carecem de estudos. Esta tese revela aspectos dessa ainda desconhecida e inusitada relação entre o DET e o MTIC no estado de São Paulo, no começo da década de 1930 e traça parte da trajetória histórica desse Departamento estadual, desde a sua criação, até a implantação do Estado Novo, em 1937, não obstante o DET só se extinguido em 1952. / Abstract: The strengthening of the state apparatus at the federal level, especially with the creation of the Ministry of Labor, Industry and Commerce (MTIC) is well highlighted by the historiography. My research is a new approach from a perspective brought by unpublished sources revealing an aspect not yet investigated: the creation of MTIC found an institution with similar functions in São Paulo state, exactly there, where the reaction to the federal government turned into a civil war. The State Department of Labor (DET) existed in São Paulo since 1911, had a strong structure, served as model for the MTIC and produced curious episodes that well reflect the tensions in the political and economic centralization at the federal level, which require further studies. This doctoral thesis reveals some aspects of this yet unknown and unusual relationship between the DET and the MTIC in São Paulo state in the early 1930's, and traces the historical trajectory of the Department of State, since its inception to the deployment of the Estado Novo in 1937, despite the DET only extinguished in 1952. / Doutorado / Historia Social do Trabalho / Doutor em História
