Resumo: In this work, we carry out a reflection around issues regarding work in the Brazilian fashion and clothing industry – one of the oldest activities performed by mankind. The objective of conceiving such work was to be able to understand the main aspects related to precariousness and inhuman work in this field. As far as the methodology applied to the study goes, this research is characterized as qualitative, and of descriptive and bibliographic type. As a result, in general, it can be observed that the precarious and flexible working relationships are utilized by companies as a means of profitability. However, when using this mechanism, worker’s rights, which are the most fragile part of this process, are the most affected, and in many cases, workers find themselves in situations similar to slavery, working in a forced way, with exhaustive workdays, and in degrading conditions.

El objetivo de concebir ese trabajo era poder comprender los principales aspectos relacionados con la precariedad y el trabajo inhumano en este sector. En cuanto a la metodología utilizada en el trabajo, el estudio se caracteriza por ser de carácter cualitativo, de tipo descriptivo bibliográfico. En relación con los principales resultados obtenidos, es evidente que en líneas generales se observa que la precariedad y la flexibilización de las relaciones laborales son utilizadas por las empresas como artificios de rentabilidad. Sin embargo, cuando se utiliza este mecanismo, el derecho de los trabajadores, que es la parte más frágil de este proceso, es el más afectado, y en muchos casos, los trabajadores se encuentran en situaciones análogas a la esclavitud, trabajando de manera forzada, con viajes exhaustivos y en condiciones degradantes.Realizou-se, neste trabalho, uma reflexão ao redor das questões no que diz respeito ao trabalho na indústria de moda e de confecções brasileira, sendo esta uma das atividades mais antigas realizadas pelo homem. O objetivo de conceber tal trabalho foi o de se poder compreender os principais aspectos relacionados à precarização e ao trabalho desumano neste setor. No que diz respeito à metodologia utilizada no trabalho, o estudo se caracteriza como de natureza qualitativa, do tipo descritivo bibliográfico. Em relação aos principais resultados alcançados, evidencia-se que em linhas gerais, pode-se observar que a precarização e flexibilização das relações de trabalho são utilizadas pelas empresas como artifícios de lucratividade. Porém, quando se utiliza desse mecanismo, o direito dos trabalhados, que é a parte mais frágil desse processo, é a mais afetado, e em muitos dos casos, os trabalhadores encontram-se em situações análogas a escravidão, trabalhando de maneira forçada, com jornadas exaustivas e em condições degradantes.Research, Society and Development2021-01-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1084110.33448/rsd-v10i1.10841Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 1; e11510110841Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 1; e11510110841Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 1; e115101108412525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/10841/10312Copyright (c) 2021 Fabiano Eloy Atílio Batista; Glauber Soares Junior; Isadora Franco Oliveirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBatista, Fabiano Eloy AtílioSoares Junior, Glauber Oliveira, Isadora Franco2021-02-20T21:19:23Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/10841Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:32:49.134492Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
