PUCCI, Francisco; NION, Soledad  e  PEREYRA, Valentina. Risk management and labor relations in the cellulose pulp industry in Uruguay. Laboreal [online]. 2019, vol.15, n.1, pp.1-17. ISSN 1646-5237.  https://doi.org/10.4000/laboreal.1657.

The work intends to make a study of two cellulose pulp production plants that have had a high impact on the Uruguayan industrial reality. Both plants of international origin, with important differences in the operation of their parent companies, are considered as examples of HRO models in the national industrial production. The type of automated technology implemented has significantly reduced the classic risks of this work. The hypothesis that is sustained in this paper is that these models require for their implementation a model of labor relations different from that which prevails in most of the national companies. The high safety conditions that are developed in the sector are based on a strategy of permanent dialogue on the part of management with a union with a strong corporate orientation, which prioritizes economic goals and tends to reduce the ideological component in its forms of action.

Palavras-chave : risk; management; unionism; cellulose; industry.
