RESUMO

This dissertation is linked to the research line on epidemiology and work. The study population were porters of one of a state company of wholesales food markets in upstate São Paulo (CEAGESP/RP). Our objective was to describe how the work may determine attitudes, life and mental health in its positive and negative values. The social setting in which this group was inserted was studied through participant observation and the ethnographic method registered in a field diary with subjective views, intra-institutional and social policies (article 1). A socio-demographic questionnaire and validated tools were used to collect data on Common Mental Diseases (CMD-TMC) and their relationships with two determinants: _ Psychological demands at work were examined at first (article 2), and at last other dimensions of total work demands were put together: psychological demand; decision latitude; social support; physical demand and unsafe job (article 3). The first article describes individual and group powers at the social and geographic space of the market. The submissive position of the work category in itself, towards the administration, and for itself, towards its own decentralized labor union is emphasized. The second article elaborates on the strong relationships of CMD-TMC with two psychosocial aspects: the high psychological demand (p=0,006) and the low social support at work (p=0,002). The third article encompasses all dimensions of the demand-control model in which the high global demand is associated with CMD-TCM (RP=2,15 (0,87-6,30); IC=95%). The dissertation closure emphasizes the need to make pervasive this public space, but also privatized and deprived, stressing the needed presence of the state, of social organization, and of the National Unified Health System, to articulate workers` rights, social auto defense, labor union organization, and protection against known hazards. The underpinnings are that the workers sell their workforce and they should not loose it in favor of profits and market competition
