This article presents the dossier, "Work in higher education", composed of 10 articles and discusses the changes that have taken place in the Brazilian labor world since the parliamentary, media and judicial coup that took place in 2016. It considers the hypothesis that one of the central goals of the coup was precisely the attack on work, in distributive sense of income, and also in the organizational sense of social and workers movements. It analyzes the legislation approved in the period -- Law 13.429/2017 and Law 13.467/2017 -- which has led to a sharp setback in the rights enshrined in the 1988 Constitution, and critically lists the main consequences of this legislation for workers such as unemployment, increased turnover, decrease in wages, reduction of recourses to labor justice and, consequently, increased mockery of protective social legislation at work, weakening of trade union organization and greater suffering at work in general. In the end, it develops the impacts of these changes on the work carried out in higher education institutions.

The objective of this article is to recover debates, projects and measures for the regulation of paid domestic work in the context of the elaboration of Brazilian labor laws during the so-called "Vargas Era" (1930-1945). The hypothesis that guides the analysis, which is based on primary sources from the press and legislative documents, is that despite the existence of a favorable scenario for the construction of laws that guaranteed certain rights to salaried urban workers, the domestic workers were placed on the sidelines of this process, being excluded from social legislation. As a result, domestic service continued to be the target of its own regulation, characterized by policies of social control, of a police and sanitary nature, defended since the end of the 19th century, especially in the then capital of the country, the city of Rio de Janeiro, but whose principles and justifications were, from the 1930s on, redefined as a result of the consolidation of capitalism in Brazil.

Objective: to discuss the classification of the health hazard allowance due to exposure to biological agents attributed to Nursing professionals, based on legal and occupational parameters supported on the principle of human dignity. Method: an original reflection study with theoretical analysis on legislation, jurisprudence and Occupational Health focused on the biological risks, health hazard and rights of Brazilian workers. The discussions were based on the current legislation and on scientific evidence. Results: the classification of the health hazard allowance due to exposure to biological agents attributed to Nursing professionals is not in line with the factual situation experienced by them. Conclusion: it becomes necessary to broaden the discussion on the subject matter and to review the effective and fair compensation of Nursing professionals due to exposure to potentially contaminated biological agents in their work environments, given that the health hazard allowance is a worker's right and is based on human dignity.
