Alagoas247 - More than 15,5% of formal workers in Alagoas were under outsourcing arrangements in 2013, according to data from the report "Outsourcing and Development – ​​a calculation that doesn't add up," released by the Unified Workers' Central (CUT). This percentage represents a total of 78.197 workers, out of a universe of almost 500.

According to the survey, in the entire Northeast region, the percentage of outsourced workers was 24,7% in 2013. In Brazil, it was 26,8%, representing a total of 12,7 million salaried workers. The number of contracted workers was 34,7 million, equivalent to 73,2%.

The report also notes that the remuneration and length of employment of outsourced workers in the country is lower when compared to contracted workers. In 2013, the average remuneration of contracted workers was R$ 2.361,15, while service providers received an average of R$ 1.776,78, a salary difference of 24,7%. The average length of employment also varied, being 2,7 years for outsourced workers and 5,8 years for contracted workers.

In contrast, the weekly working hours were longer for service providers, averaging 43 hours. Among those hired directly, this time was 40 hours.

"It is not true that outsourcing generates jobs. These jobs would have to exist for the production and execution of services necessary for the large company. The third-party company generates precarious work and, worse, with longer hours and an exhausting work pace, which ultimately reduces the number of jobs," says an excerpt from the report.

The report "Outsourcing and Development: A Number That Doesn't Add Up" was prepared by CUT, under the coordination of the National Secretariat of Labor Relations (SRT/CUT) and with the participation of Dieese.
