Embora o campo de estudos em Relações de Trabalho no Brasil tenha nascido junto com a própria ANPAD – Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Administração -, ainda são, por um lado, muito raras as contribuições relativas aos modelos usados para comparar Sistemas de Relações de Trabalho (SRTs) de diferentes países na literatura brasileira. Por outro lado, modelos para comparar SRTs de diferentes países estão bastante presentes e podem ser considerados tradicionais na literatura internacional de Relações de Trabalho produzida na Europa, EUA, Austrália e, mais recentemente, na Ásia. Este trabalho apresenta a trajetória das teorias dos SRTs e o debate em torno delas, desde os fundadores deste campo nos EUA e Inglaterra até chegar ao modelo VoC – Variedades de Capitalismo, um modelo que vem sendo muito utilizado internacionalmente. A crítica a este modelo VoC, composto inicialmente por duas vertentes, a liberal e a regulada, por ser excessivamente centrado nos países mais industrializados, gerou outras vertentes dentro do VoC, como a denominada Modelo Hierárquico de Capitalismo (HME). Esta vertente HME é aqui entendida como um possível modelo de partida para a análise dos SRTs latino-americanos, dentre eles o brasileiro, ainda que esta variante também tenha sofrido críticas, que, no entendimento deste artigo, não inviabiliza sua utilização.

Although the field of studies in Industrial Relations (IR) in Brazil was born along with the Brazilian Academy of Management itself, contributions regarding the models used to compare Industrial Relations Systems (IRSs) from different countries in Brazilian literature are still very rare. On the other hand, models to compare IRSs from different countries are quite present and can be considered traditional in the international literature produced in Europe, the USA, Australia and more recently in Asia. This work presents the trajectory of IRSs theories and the debate surrounding them, from the founders of this field in the USA and England to the VoC model Varieties of Capitalism, a model that has been widely used internationally. Criticism of this VoC model, initially composed of two types, liberal and regulated, for being excessively focused on the most industrialized countries, generated other types within VoC, such as the Hierarchical Model of Capitalism (HME). This HME type is understood here as a possible starting model for the analysis of Latin American SRTs, including the Brazilian one, although this variant has also suffered criticism, which, in the understanding of this article, does not preclude its use.

The search for preserving the environment and avoiding the scarcity of natural resources leads civil construction to seek new technical measures tending to the sustainability of its activities, among them, the use of soil-cement bricks and construction and demolition waste (CDW), contributing to the reduction of materials discarded and costs in the works. This research aims to partially incorporate CDW in the manufacture of soil-cement bricks, with 25% and 50% of the soil mass replaced. Soil and CDW mixtures with 8%, 10% and 12% of cement were submitted to compaction tests. Soil-cement and CDW-cement bricks were submitted to dimensional analysis, water absorption tests and simple compression strength at 14 days. The results confirmed the potential of the CDW as a partial raw material for the preparation of soil-cement bricks as the results of the absorption tests achieved desired results. The brick with 25% of CDW and 12% of cement presented the best resistance to compression. The use of CDW as a construction material enables the reduction of waste-disposal areas and provides the manufacture of environmentally sustainable materials.
