Trabalho e saúde no setor bancário: resgate do pensamento crítico marxista da Medicina Social Latino-Americana

Abstract

The objective was to analyze the determination elements of the work process in the Brazilian financial sector inside the manifestations of health-disease of its workers in the expanded reproduction of capital. The recovery of the Latin American Social Medicine (MSLA) thinking, specially developed by the so-called Xochimilco School, which brought together the Marxist debate about the relationship between work and health in the 1970s and 1980s, made it possible to analyze the quantitative and qualitative data collected in the research. Interviews with workers and analysis of reports were used to identify in the money functions for the capitalist system the germ of the unhealthy character in the sector. It is from these functions that comes the need of the work processes digitizations and its consequent management intensification by develops goals and digital loads. We conclude that the for the health of workers struggle in the banking sector necessarily involves overcome the concrete conditions that sustain the money fetishism of money.
