A FACILITAÇÃO DO DUMPING SOCIAL NOS CONTRATOS INTERMITENTES À LUZ DA REFORMA TRABALHISTA

Abstract

This monograph investigates the facilitation of social dumping in intermittent work contracts in light of the 2017 Labor Reform, seeking to understand how the flexibility of labor relations, especially with regard to intermittent contracts, can contribute to the practice of social dumping and the precarization of working conditions in Brazil. The research uses the methodology of literature review, analyzing texts by renowned authors in the field of Labor Law, sociology of labor, and economics, as well as relevant legislation and jurisprudence on the subject. The research results show that the intermittent work contract facilitates the practice of social dumping through the deregulation of various labor rights, such as working hours, the minimum wage, and intra-shift intervals. The flexibility of labor laws allows companies to reduce their labor costs and compete unfairly with companies that comply with labor legislation in its entirety. The research concludes that the intermittent work contract, as it is currently regulated in Brazil, poses a threat to the dignity and safety of workers, facilitating the exploitation of labor and contributing to the precarization of labor relations. The work points to the need for a critical reassessment of this type of contract and for a more stringent regulation that guarantees the dignity and safety of workers.
