Abstract

This article touches upon the subject of the organization of the rural labor market
in Brazil in the past 30 years. It discusses the interplay between technical change, seasonal
demand of labor and increase of the number of temporary workers. Temporary workers
recruited through agents are compared to those directly engaged. The last part of the article
covers a preliminary discussion on the conditions presented by temporary workers for collective
bargaining.
