Desenvolvimento tecnológico e mudanças na organização do trabalho: a regulamentação do teletrabalho (home office) pela Reforma Trabalhista (Lei nº. 13.467)

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the problem of teleworking in Brazilian labor law and its impact on the precariousness of the workers’ condition. It consists of a theoretical research, with analytical and conceptual aspects, made through bibliographical and documentary sources. The main models of production developed in a capitalist society in the last centuries are addressed, seeking to highlight the control and management of social production through work, characterizing telework and the possible repercussions arising from its introduction to the Brazilian legal system. In this way, it is questioned: is teleworking a form of precariousness of human relations of work? It is based on the premise that teleworking, recently introduced to the Consolidation of Labor Laws of Brazil, consists of a new development model defended by neoliberal discourse and that its modus operandi is impossible to conceive, without the proper understanding of the Brazilian Labor Reform of 2017 as a political project that sought to break with norms developed according to the Social State project.
