Abstract

This study aims to analyze and understand, from the historical-dialectical materialist perspective, the relationship between the work process and health of the social workers in the Reference Centers of Social Assistance (CRAS) in the municipality of Conselheiro LafaieteMG. It is known that the transformations resulting from the restructuring in the sphere of production and the capitalist State from the capital crisis of the 1970s had serious repercussions on the conditions and working relationships of social workers. In this way, we seek to point out aspects of the conditions of insertion of these professionals in the labor market, demonstrating that, like the rest of the working class, Social Work professionals suffer and become ill due to the precariousness of the work they are working on exposed. Subsequently, using empirical research with social workers, technicians and coordinators of the CRAS of the municipality studied we will indicate the consequences of precarious work for the health of these professionals inserted in the social assistance policy establishing the connection between the work process and health.
