SINDICALISMO NO MUNDO 4.0: ANÁLISE DA (IN) EFETIVIDADE DA LIBERDADE SINDICAL NO ORDENAMENTO JURÍDICO BRASILEIRO

Abstract

The birth of Labor Law is usually confused with the emergence of Syndicalism, which is why, in order to understand the bottom line of Syndicalism, it is necessary to delve into its historical roots in Brazil and in the world and also analyze the direct influence of the International Labor Organization (ILO) into the Trade Union World, especially with the impact of the Conventions number 87 and 98. Evidently, such understanding requires a specific lens focused on trade union freedom, known as a fundamental right that is the basic principle of collective law and configures a meeting of different ways of looking, thinking, or understanding, but above all, consecrate the possibility of seeing a future for trade union activity, while it is only beyond its true guarantee that is possible to plan the continuation of a robust, active and representative Syndicalism. Therefore, it is on this panorama that this writing is based, inclined to evaluate the effectiveness of the guarantee of trade union freedom in the Brazilian legal system. For the present reason, it will be taken into consideration, while using the lights of the World of Work 4.0, the union unity adopted by Brazil. In that regard, through the analysis of the consequences of the 2017 labor reform and the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be possible to understand the union action as a tool to safeguard and assure labor rights in the middle of a volatile modern society.
