This paper aims to reflect on the growing precariousness of the teaching work in Higher Education, in contradiction to the objectives that characterize the University: teaching, research and extension. The realization of the study was based, initially, on the studies and discussions on neoliberalism and democracy, pointing out the limits and challenges of professors in the struggle for conquest, in guaranteeing rights and working conditions. The importance of the struggles of the teaching union movement is highlighted, with emphasis on the National Union of Professors of Higher Education Institutions (Sindicato Nacional dos Docentes das Instituições de Ensino Superior – ANDES-SN), and the need for resistance. Based on this context, aspects referring to the precariousness of teaching work are pointed out, from some data referring to the reality of the work of professors in the State Universities of Paraná, Brazil, published by the Teachers Union Command (known in Brazil by the anacronym CSD/ANDES/PR).
Keywords: Higher Education. Precariousness. Teaching work.
