| description | This article seeks to analyze how the Brazilian business-military dictatorship caused an avalanche of work that led to the precarious growth of workers employed in the construction industry. In this sense, the "economic miracle" operated through public works, gradually among governments, building increasingly large buildings, such as the "King Pelé" Soccer Stadium, popularized "Trapichão". We will analyze the experiences of the construction workers gathered here through the Labor Justice, an institution disputed by workers and employers. To think about how the economic "miracle" took place from the point of view of the workers "underneath", means to look closer at the cheapening of the labor force, the sickening and death of the employees, the overexploitation and the precariousness of their working conditions, and how the employers and the State benefited from the characteristics of outsourcing and informality that prevailed in that context. |
