Eight Years of Labor Reform: Trade Unions and Collective Bargaining
Keywords:
Trade Unions, Collective Bargaining, Labor Reform, Collective AutonomyAbstract
The article reflects on the impacts of Law No. 13,467/2017 on the Brazilian trade union structure and the dynamics of collective bargaining. The author examines the transition from a rigid legal protection model to the collective autonomy encouraged by the "negotiated over legislated" principle. It discusses the end of mandatory union dues, the weakening of class entities, and the need for trade union self-reform to face the new challenges of the world of work, especially in light of the jurisprudence established by the STF in Theme 1,046.
