| Abstract | |
This research aims to analyze how unemployment occurs in Brazil and how has been the organization of unemployed workers in this country, especially in the state of São Paulo, in the years 2003 to 2010. This will be done by analyzing the policies of ?Central Única dos Trabalhadores? (CUT) and of "Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra" (MST) to organize unemployed workers as important references in social struggles in Brazil. At first, we will discuss the theoretical debate that guides the analysis of unemployment and its relationship to the capitalist mode of production, including the specificity of Brazilian dependent capitalism in order to demonstrate the complexity of the phenomenon and, therefore, the various issues and problems about the study of unemployment in the social sciences. Then, we will develop a study on the extent and manifestation of unemployment during the period marked by the advance of neoliberal policy in Brazil and characteristics of expression of this phenomenon in Lula's government. After that, we analyze the policies of CUT-SP for the organization of the unemployed workers, in its different expressions, related with its union strategy. Finally, we will seek to redeem the principal characteristics of the unemployed in MST in the State of São Paulo, as well as the political and ideological conceptions of this movement and its forms of struggle. The sources of this research will be obtained through the literature available on the subject, a survey of press materials and the movement itself and conducting some interviews with leaders, activists and social base of the organization. This study will address the specifics of capitalism, unemployment and agrarian question in Brazil, as well as the role of the state and the impacts of neoliberalism on the labor market, especially in the case of São Paulo. Also, it discusses general issues about which condition(s) of the class of unemployed, about the difficulties and potentialities of the organization, about their relationship with workers in activity, in order to relate the MST-SP with the objective aspects of economic and social formation of the country and with ideological and political elements (AU) | |
