Abstract

This study reveals the situation of teachers who teach in three municipal schools in the city of Diamantina, Minas Gerais, through raising the objective conditions of labor as well as on how they evaluated and pedagogical activity. The instrument used was a semi-structured questionnaire answered by 61 teachers. We found that the main complaints of teachers in relation to working conditions referred to the structure, specifically the physical structure, the organization of the school in which they worked and the precariousness of teaching materials. Half of teachers requested sick leave for health reasons, especially for diagnostics of MSDs (Musculoskeletal Disorders Related to Work), cardiovascular and mental illness. Also the significant number of teachers who are diseased with less than 5 years in the profession, and these relate the illness with the working process was observed, either as a generator or aggravating. In addition to the teachers' neglect of the body, especially among those who are getting sick. Both the illness and suffering of teachers are made by sales, especially in three ways: as the product of labor, the labor process and himself.
