A Greve do servidor público federal diante do novo posicionamento do Supremo Tribunal Federal - RE 693.456

Abstract

The theme of the strike always occupies a complex position as regards being a legitimate right recognized constitutionally and, given its size, its exercise is questioned under legal and judicial limitations. With the public servant the situation becomes more complex especially due to the lack of specific legislation. Recent history shows successive strikes of public servants (with a special focus on the category of higher education teachers) and it is questionable whether or not the strike is an effective instrument for the conquest of rights and as a form of pressure to the Government for better working conditions, among other guidelines. The present monographic paper unfolds on these issues and uses analytical critical methodology. At the end it is possible to observe the existence of two main lines of thought in Justice, none necessarily conclusive, but capable of leading to reflection.
