Análise da lei 13.467/2017: os impactos no movimento sindical brasileiro e a perda da força negocial

Abstract

This work aims to point out the changes in Brazilian unionism brought about by Law 13,467, enacted in 2017. Popularly known as the Labor Reform, it modified several legal provisions impacting workers' rights. Here, special emphasis was placed on union contributions, which are now optional, and their bargaining power. It was also noted that some reforms in the union sphere were subject to review by the Federal Supreme Court. In the first chapter, a brief historical context of labor relations and their relationship with the union movement was discussed. The second chapter sought to explain the political, economic, and social context in which the law was created, highlighting some important changes that impacted the labor union movement, including jurisprudential issues. In the third chapter, the work demonstrated the consequences of the reform in the union sphere. Using deductive methodology, this work concluded that the legal modifications in the CLT resulting from the Labor Reform changed union life, leading to a decline in membership and revenue, as well as a loss of bargaining power to guarantee rights. Such changes were crucial to the weakening of this important institution.
