Abstract

This dissertation objectives to verify the adequacy to the predicted measures in the 36th Regulatory Norm (RN) in 2013 of Department of Labor (DOL) and the initial results of its implementation in a Concórdia cold store. To do so, firstly, the labor health care constitution and the politics constitution in this area were gathered. Secondly, it was identified the factors that influenced the development of the norm. That is because the success or the failure of a normalizing policy depends on the conditions of development and approval. It also performed the gathering of the main items of RN, to comprehend its topics in a deeper way. To gather the empirical data, some surveys were accomplished with the thematic oral history method. Six union leaders and ten workers participated of the survey. With the results, it was verified that the workers as well as the union leaders know the content of the norm, realizing a joint action to demand and observe the adjustments being made. It was also identified that the company has been done adjustments, but not all required by the norm. Because of that, the research demonstrated that, in the sectors the 36th RN was implemented with success, it was guaranteed an improvement in labor conditions. In contrast, in the sessions the adjustments are not suitable yet, the sickening environment and labor degradation remains. With that, it was concluded that the studied cold store abstains of being in the vanguard of prevention and guarantee of better labor conditions, since it could identify and easily solve the critical points, but it omits itself. This omission seems to be connected to the reach of better economic gains.
