Controle social, mundo do trabalho e as Conferências Nacionais de Saúde da virada do século XX / Social Control, work world and the National Conferences of Health at the turn of the 20th century

A prática do controle social no campo da saúde do trabalhador vem enfrentando as barreiras impostas pela globalização e pela reestruturação d(n)o mundo do trabalho, seja pelo enfraquecimento dos sindicatos de trabalhadores, seja pela ausência de representantes das várias categorias de trabalhadores sem vínculo formal de trabalho, pertencentes ao expressivo mercado informal/precarizado. Na virada do século XX, as grandes Conferências Nacionais de Saúde foram marcadas por contextos políticos com diferenças significativas, o que favoreceu a falta de articulação entre as bases representativas, que se ocupavam principalmente com as demandas fragmentadas e interesses particularistas. Refletir sobre como se configura a legítima representação das classes de trabalhadores, sejam elas pertencentes ao mercado formal ou informal/precarizado, faz-se necessário diante das evidências de que o arranjo atual vem impedindo o aprofundamento dos assuntos específicos da saúde do trabalhador.

The practice of social control in the field of the worker's health has been facing barriers imposed by the globalization and the restructuring in the work world, either because of the weakness of the workers' unions, or by the absence of representatives of the various workers categories without formal work bond, belonging to the expressive informal/precarious market. In the beginning of the 20th century, big National Conferences of Health were marked by political contexts with significant differences, favoring the lack of articulation among the representative bases that were engaged mainly in fragmented demands and particulars interests. To contemplate on as the legitimate representation of the workers' classes is configured, either belonging to the formal market, or informal/precarious, is necessary against the evidences that the current arrangement is impeding the deepening of the specific worker's health issues.
