Summary: | This was a socio-historical study that aimed to analyze the repercussions of the flexibilization of labor relationships within a University hospital (UH) using the thematic oral history method and triangulation of sources made up of workers' statements, institutional documents and relevant literature. It was observed that flexibilization, driven by state reform in the 1990s, had a structural impact on the trajectory of this institution, that, due to government downsizing policy, adopted outsourcing to maintain staff, leading to high staff turnover, various types of conflicts, and discontinuity and lack of organization of work processes. We conclude that the flexibilization of employment relationships became a handicap for this UH, disrupting services, negatively affecting students and service users, contributing to the deterioration of working conditions and lack of protection of workers. Key words State reform, University hospitals, Work, Outsourcing, Nursing Estudo de natureza historico-social com objetivo de analisar as repercussoes da flexibilizacao das relacoes de trabalho na realidade de um Hospital Universitario (HU). Utilizou-se como metodo a historia oral tematica e a analise triangulada entre as fontes, constituidas por depoimentos dos trabalhadores, documentos institucionais e literatura. Constatou-se que a flexibilizacao, impulsionada pela Reforma de Estado na decada de 90, interferiu de maneira estrutural na trajetoria desta Instituicao que, a partir da politica do Governo Federal de enxugamento do quadro de pessoal, adotou a terceirizacao para manutencao da forca de trabalho, acarretando rotatividade dos trabalhadores, conflitos de ordens diversas, descontinuidade e desorganizacao dos processos de trabalho. Concluimos que a flexibilizacao das relacoes de trabalho tornou-se um entrave no ambito deste HU, desestruturando os servicos, prejudicando estudantes e usuarios, contribuindo para a precarizacao do trabalho e a desprotecao social dos trabalhadores.
