A reforma trabalhista e a precarização do emprego com o enfraquecimento dos sindicatos

Abstract

On July 13, 2017, Law 13,467 was published. The text, called Labor Reform, becomes effective as of 11/11/2017 by amending the CLT (Decree Law 5,452 of May 1, 1943). The changes are many, but the present work seeks to focus on the changes related to the articles that deal with direct negotiation, that is, provisions that allow free agreement between the parties, employer and employee. In addition, it also discusses the relationship of this permission with the amendment provided in the new text that brings to the employee the faculty of union contribution, previously mandatory. The purpose of the present study is to demonstrate that the direct negotiation associated with the disengagement of contributing to the unions of the respective categories can cause an increase of the employee's hyposufficiency towards the contractors. The unions have historically been the great representatives and the fighting force of the working class. They operate in the interests of the working class, above all, financed by the worker himself through the hitherto obligatory union contribution of each of the existing categories.
