RESUMO
Tomando como objeto de estudo o caso de uma cooperativa de trabalho de reciclagem em Santa Maria-DF, foram trabalhadas algumas dimensões profissionais e pessoais da vida de catadores e catadoras, tendo como objetivo conhecer as suas perspetivas sobre as condições profissionais, pessoais e sociais enquanto profissionais da catação de resíduos sólidos organizados em cooperativa de trabalho de reciclagem, identificando quais as suas principais dificuldades, constrangimentos e necessidades e procurando conhecer de que forma o movimento cooperativista de trabalho de reciclagem contribui para o possível desenvolvimento dos seus processos de inclusão social. Do ponto de vista metodológico e técnico optou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa, com a realização de entrevistas e o desenvolvimento de observação. Foi possível perceber que os catadores/as não estão socialmente inseridos, carecem de educação, saúde, renda, laboram em precárias condições de trabalho, correspondem a um grupo altamente vulnerável, em que pese o cooperativismo de trabalho, via cooperativa de reciclagem proporcionar o emprego na catação tal pode considerar-se como a face perversa da inclusão.
ABSTRACT
The present research in the field of Social Education takes as object of study the case of a cooperative of work of recycling in Santa Maria-DF. Based on the analysis of some professional and personal dimensions of the life of waste pickers, it aims to know their perspectives on the professional, personal and social conditions as solid waste disposal workers organized in a recycling work cooperative, identifying their main difficulties, constraints and needs and seeking to know how the cooperative movement of recycling work contributes to the possible development of social inclusion processes. From the methodological and technical point of view, a qualitative approach was chosen, with the accomplishment of interviews and the development of observation. It was observed that the collectors are not socially inserted; they lack education, health, income; working conditions are precarious. They are a highly vulnerable group. Although included in cooperative work, this can be considered as the perverse face of inclusion.
