The present thesis’ objective is to analyze the in/exclusion process of disabled people in the labor market of Pará State, especially in a large size food industry. The goal is to observe how the in/exclusion of these individuals has been occurring, based on parameters of selection, progression, and functional promotion. For this purpose, it started with the following question: In the face of a system which, by means of a selective, precarious, and marginal inclusion, excludes en masse and includes selectively, how is the process of in/exclusion of disabled workers in the labor market of Pará State? With the intention of answering it, this research applied the Qualitative Approach supported by the quantitative analysis of the data, possessing as theoretical-philosophical foundation the historical-dialectical materialism. Bibliographic and documental searches were also realized to subsidize the analysis of the Brazilian reality, especially Pará State’s. Quizzes and interviews were used as survey techniques, as well as the Content analysis for the systematization and investigation of the collected data. The study confirmed, that the disabled people inclusion process in the examined food industry is characterized as: Precarious, for the selectivity is made by means of the type of disability/limitation presented; Marginal, for the Education/Qualification/Training criteria are directly tied to immediate demands of enhancement, rationalization, and productive restructuring; Subordinated, for the functional growth criteria are founded in a meritocratic logic; Unstable, for it is linked to mechanisms of workers alienation; and Imposed, for it is governed by legal, judicial, and labor apparatuses. Moreover, it was observed that this inclusion stems from class struggle, since the punctual advances arise from the working class pressure and from the correlation of forces between capital and work. In the face of this scenario, it is assured that disabled people are subjects of a double exclusion: the first, inherent to their own condition of disability; the second, immanent to the social class in which they belong. This dynamic establishes, thus, a correlation between poverty and disability. The dialectics in/exclusion follows, therefore, the underlying logic of the capitalist society. This, in turn, promotes mass exclusion, as well as a selective, precarious, marginal, subordinate, and imposed, by its own rules and interests, inclusion.
