The current study was designed to analyze the insertion and job conditions offered to the persons with disabilities (PCDs), in the labor market, at the light of the politics of reserved vacancies known of the Lei de Cotas (Lei 8.213/1991). Therefore, it was presented a brief historical context of the foundation of Brazilian labor market, being also indicated the main changes in the worldwide, generally, and its consequences for all instances of the social life, with highlights to the consequences over the State and mainly, to the social policies. Some considerations were made about the concept of disability, as well as about the international and national rights of persons with disabilities. To achieve its goal, this study has adopted as empirical field of research a big company of food products from the city of the Rio de Janeiro, where were collected materials through interviews performed with an employee, who is responsible for the hiring, monitoring and evaluation of the workers with disabilities. From these data and institutional documents it was able to know the functions executed by the persons with disabilities, as well as how to develop a profile from those workers. With the data collected and after their analysis, based on the theoretical and methodological reference adopted, it was noticed that the insertion of the person with disability in the labor market is a long and intricate path to cross, and it has issues in its genesis such as the lack of institutional organizations to receive those persons, either in the public field, such as in schools and transportation, or in the private field, such as in the corporations that hire the PCDs. The approach of the empirical field allowed noting that the studied corporation is concerned just with the accomplishment of the Lei de Cotas and with the quest of the good social visibility through the brand citizen company or company socially committed, not having indeed a concern with the accessibility and job conditions for the PCDs. The conclusion is that, after the study performed, the simple implementation of the affirmative action policies, which has as a positive point the market opening for the PCDs, will not change the life conditions of the persons with disabilities, once those lives are already loaded with prejudice and accessibility restrictions. What in fact would ensure better working and living conditions for that people segment would be an integrated policy to articulate educational policies, with income and working policies, as well as changes in the economic policy.
