Expressions of precarious working conditions in the rules of the game: Social Organizations in Primary Care in the municipality of Rio

ABSTRACT

The objective was to analyze the labor relations in the scope of Primary Care operated by Social Organizations in the city of Rio de Janeiro in the period from 2009 to 2019. The contributions of historical neoinstitutionalism were used to analyze the formal rules of labor relations and their relationship with precarious working conditions based on documents prepared by the legislative, executive and service providers. The following hiring modalities were considered: social security or labor contributions; recruitment and selection modalities; worker representation; job, salary and benefits plan; remuneration; scope of practices and team composition. The uncertainties in guaranteeing labor rights, insecurity about the professional future, work overload, among others, stood out as expressions of precarious working conditions. The study of the trajectory of Primary Care policy in the considered period reconstructs arguments, legislative and regulatory dimensions, as well as the inflections and evolution of the policy. The rules of the game contained in the regulations express the flexibility and precarious working conditions in Primary Care in the municipality, calling into question the sustainability of services based on the model of Social Organizations.
