Trabalho doméstico remunerado no Brasil: entre o poder simbólico patronal e a luta por reconhecimento jurídico

Abstract

The present research aims at understanding how social relations between domestic workers and their respective employers take place after the advent of Constitutional Amendment No. 72, 2013 and Complementary Law No. 150/15, especially with regard to issues of power, Affection and professionalization of this working relationship. The struggle for legal recognition and the achievement of the expansion of labor rights are of paramount importance in order to reduce situations of inequality, vulnerability and devaluation of domestic work. It has been that the recent changes in Brazilian legislation implemented by the mentioned legal texts have brought about effective changes for domestic workers. It is then a question about the transformations in the daily life of these actors involving the rupture with the paternalistic and clientelistic social arrangement that traditionally has characterized the exercise of this modality of work. Among the methodological procedures that will be used to obtain the data for the proposed analysis are the interviews focused on a semi-structured questionnaire, and direct observation, so that one can then understand the perception of the Workers, employers and trade unionists regarding these legal changes.
