THE 2017 LABOR REFORM AND THE PRECARIOUSNESS IT BRINGS TO THE EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP

Abstract

This paper aimed to analyze the flexibilization of labor laws, since the process of constitutionalizing of collective bargaining, the 2017 labor reform and the precariousness of the legislation, in addition to the case law analysis on the subject. A research was developed, as a methodology, bibliographical and case law research, of a qualitative nature, starting with the process of constitutionalizing of collective bargaining. Then, the importance of collective bargaining is evaluated; articles 611-A and 611-B of the CLT are studied, with the innovations arising from Law 13.467/2017. From the analysis of the provisions mentioned above, it is verified that the reformist law allowed certain fundamental matters to be flexibilized by collective agreement and convention. Finally, a critical analysis is made of the judgment in Theme 1046, STF.
