Resumo: This study analyzes how labor relations operate in the world of youth based on the reported experiences of male and female workers in the McDonald’s fast food restaurants in the city of Florianópolis from 2000 - 2007. It was found that the production and service system in this sector is guided by Fordist and Toyotist strategies. This fast food system seeks to forge a certain kind of worker, understood as “multifunctional,” “interchangeable” and “discardable” to the degree that, under the euphemism of flexibilization, it utilizes labor in the quantity, place and time desired. To do so, specific training is conducted in which the high turnover of these attendants does not make the business of the fast food restaurants unviable.

Constatou-se que o sistema de produção e serviço vigente nesse setor é regido por estratégias idealizadas tanto no fordismo quanto no toyotismo. Este sistema fast food procura forjar um determinado tipo de trabalhador, entendido como “multifuncional”, “intercambiável” e “descartável” na medida em que, sob o eufemismo da flexibilização, utiliza-o na quantidade, no lugar e pelo tempo desejado. Para tanto, desenvolve um treinamento específico em que a alta rotatividade destes atendentes não inviabiliza o negócio de restaurantes de comidas rápidas.Revista KatálysisRevista KatálysisRevista Katálysis2009-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/article/view/S1414-4980200900020000310.1590/S1414-49802009000200003Revista Katálysis; Vol. 12 No. 2 (2009): Dossiê: As configurações do trabalho na sociedade capitalista; 142-151Revista Katálysis; Vol. 12 Núm. 2 (2009): Dossiê: As configurações do trabalho na sociedade capitalista; 142-151Revista Katálysis; v. 12 n. 2 (2009): Dossiê: As configurações do trabalho na sociedade capitalista; 142-1511982-02591414-4980reponame:Revista Katálysis (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/article/view/S1414-49802009000200003/11112Copyright (c) 2020 Sílvia Maria Fávero Arend, Antero Maximiliano Dias dos Reisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArend, Sílvia Maria FáveroReis, Antero Maximiliano Dias dos2022-11-21T14:18:49Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/11875Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/katalysis/oairevistakatalysis@gmail.com || kataly@cse.ufsc.br || revistakatalysis@hotmail.com1982-02591414-4980opendoar:2022-11-21T14:18:49Revista Katálysis (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
