Negociações coletivas de trabalho após a reforma trabalhista: um recorte da atuação dos sindicatos dos empregados das sociedades cooperativas em negociações coletivas de trabalho de 2015 a 2019 em Alagoas

Abstract

It is undeniable that the Law No. 13,467/2017, better known as “Labor Reform”, promoted several transformations with regard to Labor Law as it was before it came into effect, with the real impacts of this law still not being completely known by now, even after almost seven years from the beginning of its validity. For this reason, this final paper, using inductive methodology and bibliographic and documentary research, aims to analyze the real impacts of the Labor Reform on collective labor negotiations, a self-composing method in which trade unions and/or companies can amicably solve collective labor conflicts. Thereunto, initially, is drawn an overview of the historical evolution of trade unions and Collective Labor Law in the world and in Brazil, also presenting the situation of this field of Law currently in Brazil. Next, the main changes proposed by the Labor Reform to Collective Law are analyzed, focusing on articles 611-A and 611-B and, in particular, on the prevalence of what is negotiated over what is legislated. Finally, there is a concrete analysis of the collective instruments signed by trade unions representing workers employed in cooperative societies in Alagoas, separating the collective negotiations studied between those registered up to two years before and up to two years after the beginning of the Labor Reform, and comparing the differences between these two groups. In conclusion, it is observed that the Labor Reform, at least based on the object of study under discussion, did not produce major impacts on the structure or content of collective labor negotiations.
