Abstract:
This research project aims to understand how the changes introduced by the labor counterreform
have impacted working conditions, since the men and women who survive from the
sale of their labor force in Brazil have been suffering deleterious effects from the expansion of
flexible working arrangements. To this end, qualitative research was carried out, using
literature review as sources and methodological procedures, with the study of texts and
authors relevant to the topic. Therefore, constituting itself as a bibliographic and documentary
study that selected the new legal system established to mediate labor relations in Brazil, made
available in articles, books, annals of events, theses and dissertations, laws and technical
notes. Thus, we adopted dialectical historical materialism as a guiding methodological
guideline, supported by the critical social theory of reality, which will serve as a reference to
understand the expansion of outsourcing for core activities, resulting from the replacement of
employment contracts with more guarantees by contracts precarious, without the generation
of jobs, the legalization of intermittent work, the feasibility of pejotização, the dismantling of
the Labor Court and the union organization that create, for the worker, a situation with low
wages, insecurity and instability. After carrying out the processes, it is concluded that the
counter-reform tends to weaken the State and its capacity to protect those who need social
security policies and, in fact, also in this field, it reinforces the idea that private interests
prevail over the enshrined rights.
