The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of the set of measures adopted by the labor reform of 2017 on the generation of employment and income in Brazil. The study is based on the literature that highlights the importance of structural change in employment as a key element for economic growth and development, emphasizing that in Brazil, there is still a view that the labor market should take on more flexible work relationships to advance in the improvement of jobs, levels of employment, productivity and income. Subsequently, the article summarizes and critically comments on the main measures of the labor law reforms adopted in post-2017 Brazil. Finally, it presents an analysis of the behavior of the labor market in Brazil between 2012 and 2022 based on data from the PNADC/IBGE survey. The main results of the survey confirm that the labor reform of 2017 has not shown advances in labor market indicators or in the main macroeconomic aggregates of the country. In contrast, the data suggest deterioration in the indicators of employment, income and allocation of workers in occupations with low productivity and income characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this work is to analyze the effects of Brazilian Labor Market Reform (BLMR) in the short run and, based on identified changes in the economy in recent decades, to verify how these changes have affected the labor market. Four methods were used in a complementary way: (i) employment quality index; (ii) panel data estimation method; (iii) synthetic control method and (iv) microdata analysis. We observed that there was no considerable increase in the quality of employment and formal employment and the rate of unemployment did not decrease after the implementation of these changes. Part of this dynamic is cyclical and related to exogenous shocks, such as the COVID pandemic on the Brazilian economy. Finally, according to econometric analysis, the rate of unemployment in Brazil is more responsive to investment rates and the business environment than to unit labor cost and changes in labor legislation.

By systemizing a typology from John R. Commons and John B. Andrews' discussion about collective bargaining and the attitudes of governments towards labor unions, we present in this article the use of this categorization to investigate the vicissitudes of unionism in Brazil. We do so by analyzing the interaction between the government and labor unions in two different inflection points in Brazil's labor law history: (i) the Vargas Era (1930--1945) and (ii) the Labor Reform of 2017. Our conclusions relate these periods to the attitudes of "intervention" and "tolerance," respectively, pointing now to aspects of increasing opposition towards collective action as the economic crisis and unemployment deepen, and new reforms take place.

Chapter 5 deviates from this narrative to compare and contrast the labor relations regimes at Walmart in Argentina, Chile, and Mexico with those in Brazil. At the same time, unions, regulators, and labor prosecutors continued to contest Walmart's labor policies in the courts, leading to significant fines and a tarnished public image.

This article proposes to carry out a perspective analysis of changes in the 2017 Labor Reform in the work relations of teachers in private higher education institutions, presenting qualitative data from field research and document analysis. For the development of this analysis, the theoretical framework presents some changes in private higher education in Brazil, bringing the commodification and internationalization of education as relevant points for understanding the current scenario. A description of the main changes in labor legislation from 1990 to 2017 was also presented, so that one could understand the evolution or setback of labor legislation, also presenting new forms of work such as the more recently called "Uberization" in education. A qualitative research was carried out, using semi-structured interviews, investigating the views of teachers, managers and union representatives. Based on the analysis of the literature and data collected from the interviews, it was found that the changes brought about by the labor reform boosted and boosted new forms of work in the educational market. However, such innovations, while making hiring more flexible and speeding up the growth of HEIs, in the view of the professors, bring with them an increase in the precariousness of work and a loss of quality in teaching.

This article aims to analyze the constitutionality of the innovation brought by the labor reform, with regard to the overlapping of collective negotiations with labor legislation, in the hypotheses provided by Law n. 13467/2017. The study showed the evolution of Labor Law in Brazil, illustrating the guarantees achieved by workers throughout history and analyzing the risk of the expansion of flexibilization hypotheses. The idea that the negotiated under the legislation should prevail may seem like a solution for the labour market, but it brings with it certain limitations that need to be analyzed in the light of the constitutional project. Verifying whether the new changes are constitutional and whether they really broaden the labour spectrum, generating the creation of more jobs and ensuring worker stability, is a problem to be analyzed in the face of the principle of sealing the social setback. It also sought to verify the new scenario established by the Provisional Measures adopted as instruments to combat the pandemic in the country regarding the negotiations made possible in times of COVID 19, as well as ascertain to what extent these negotiations are beneficial or not to the worker. Based on deductive research method, with exploratory, bibliographic and qualitative technique, a bibliographic research was developed, whose central objective is the analysis of legislative changes that allow the overlapping of the negotiated on the legislated, whether such changes violate existing constitutional rights.

The study analyzes the main questions of the Labor Reform envolving lesions to the personality rights, aiming to examine the protection of human dignity in the new legislation, seeking to maintain the purpose of labor law: worker protection. To this use a brief history of Labor Law is briefly approached, contextualizing it with the current panorama of Labor Law in Brazil, labor reform and personality rights, based on theoretical and descriptive research, using the inductive method, because the study starts analysing the main aspects of the Law 13.467/17, based on the personality rights, presenting as a conclusion the necessity to guarantee these rights to the Labor Reform by means of the Judiciary Power.

This research analyzed the constitutionality of the tariff system to calculate extrapatrimonial damages resulting from labor relations. This law was introduced by the Labor Reform that occurred in Brazil in 2017. The study deined the extrapatrimonial damages from the perspective of the Brazilian legal system, presented the change promoted by the Labor Reform on the introduction of tariff rates to calculate the value of moral damage based on the salary of the respective injured worker and examined decisions of the higher courts on the subject, including the arguments presented in the direct action of unconstitutionality 6050, whose claim was to declare the unconstitutionality of this new normative forecast. Moreover, based on dialectics, the arguments defending both the constitutionality and the unconstitutionality of the new precept were exposed. The study concluded, based on the principles of full reparation of damages, of proportionality and of dignity of the human person, that the normative provision of a tariff for moral damages in labor law is unconstitutional.

This article analyzed the exaltation of the autonomy of the employee's will in the employment relationship, based on a new regulation of labor law in Brazil, experienced in recent years and introduced by the changes promoted by the Labor Reform in the country in 2017, as well as by the decision given by the Supreme Court, in the direct action of unconstitutionality n. 6363. In addition to listing several examples, there was an analysis of two very significant situations: the contractual freedom of the hypersufficient employee and the possibility of salary reduction by individual adjustment between employee and employer. The research was justified because of the evident paradox in exalting the autonomy of the employee's will in an asymmetric legal relationship, in which it is assumed that the worker is hyposufficient. Based on the dialectics and the technique of indirect documentary research in the documentary and bibliographical research modalities, this study concluded, in the condition of the results found, that the valorization of the autonomy of the employee's will, in a markedly asymmetric legal relationship, directs labor law in the country to a new paradigm, with risks equivalent to those verified when constructing this legal branch.

Purpose. The study presented here consists of an analysis of the latest labour law reform in Brazil as a response to the crisis that affects this country. Design/methodology/approach. The analysis considers some key alterations across in order to highlight the principal scope of the labour law reform, in individual, collective and procedural labour law. Findings. Although the main purpose of the reform was to incentivize the labour market, it is questionable that these particular reforms will be able to fulfill such a scope. Without prejudice, it can be recognizable as an important modernization of the labour law regulations, considering the former law dated from 1943 (notwithstanding the minor alterations along the years). Research limitations/implications. The research is part of a debate adding a perspective from a Southern-American country. Originality/value. The paper consists of further material for an ongoing discussion on the impact of a crisis in the labour market and the adequacy of reforms as a response to them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ABSTRACT What happens to a country's system of labor laws when its government embraces market-oriented reforms? In a twist on the prediction that labor regulations will be repealed, researchers find that laws remain in place but are not faithfully enforced, a phenomenon known as de facto flexibility. This article examines the case of Brazil to understand its near-opposite; namely, resilience and renewal in the enforcement of labor regulations. It finds that labor unions have combined the corporatist authority they gained under state control with the autonomy they acquired under democratization to devise new modes of action and to safeguard existing regulations. Meanwhile, labor inspectors and prosecutors rely on existing laws to combat precarious work conditions and promote formal employment relations, which strengthen the unions. This mutually supportive arrangement is neither perfect nor free of tension, but it shows how workers can be protected even when employers are subjected to global competition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
