A precarização do trabalho nos shopping centers à luz da reforma trabalhista e suas implicações nas relações sindicais

Abstract

The present study investigates the dynamics of shopping centers as spaces for leisure and consumption, highlighting the precarious working conditions behind the scenes, exacerbated by the labor reform of 2017. Confronting contemporary challenges, especially in the face of the increased precarious routines of workers, trade union representations face obstacles in adapting to this new work reality. In light of this, the research focuses on the SECOHTUR, SINDILOJAS, and SEC unions, analyzing the impact of the reform on labor relations in shopping centers in Santa Maria/RS. The central issues address the impact of the reform on union representation and labor rights. Employing a qualitative approach, the research involves participant observation in two shopping centers and document analysis. The analytical categories include work, unionism, and consumption. The study seeks to understand the repercussions of this reform on labor relations in shopping centers and the union relationship within this sector, contributing to the understanding of the current labor market scenario.
