Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho: olhares sobre a questão legislativa laboral no Brasil

Abstract

This paper deals with the historical issue of the creation of labor legislation in the World and Brazil, with the objective of analyzing how difficulties in implanting the first signs of labor until their manifestation in the concrete law. The content of compulsory labor and incompatible with legislation to protect workers, will analyze a development of the meaning of labor, from a slave era, going through all changes of feudalism and industrialization until they are reached as the first manifestations of protectionism to the worker. Through the information we can observe that the Brazilian workers took longer to feel protected by law with respect to foreigners, who had a much stronger and anticipated revolution, and for that reason we ended up receiving it in a much milder way the first labor rights, and are often no longer useful. Thus, in the contextualisation of the trajectory of the Brazilian workers, we can observe that through a conception obtained in the Vargas Era, Brazilians eventually believed that their rights were donated by a benefactor rather than sought by them, resulting in a heritage of pacification in relation the threat of withdrawal of their labor rights that led to the approval of the Labor Reform. Therefore, this work aims at a recapitulation of history so that the rights that were harshly obtained by our ancestors are no longer so easily abandoned by those who need them.
