PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES'S RIGHT TO WORK: CHALLENGES, CRISES AND HORIZONS

The article analyzes the current contours and the difficulties for the realization of the right to work of people with disabilities in Brazil, proposing to overcome the formal paradigm of attribution of rights. In spite of the wide normative regulations which serve to protect the disabled person's right to work, it is noted that the institutional reforms of labor law and social security impact on the effectiveness of these rights. Therefore, the crisis in the discourse of protection of these rights is discussed in the context of recent reforms, having Axel Honneth's critical theory as the main analytical framework, based on his concept of recognition. It is questioned to what extent the lack of recognition of the social value of the work of people with disabilities creates situations of injustice, as well as how it impacts the crisis found in the discourse of attribution of rights. At last, the text presents, as a horizon for the construction of a human and emancipatory vision of work, the perspective of the right to work as a possible environment for the fight of recognition and affirmation of rights.
