Reforma trabalhista e suas implicações sobre as negociações coletivas do SINTRICOM-JP

Abstract

The Labor Reform in Brazil, implemented in november 2017 with the law 13.467/2017, has meant maintenance challenges and expansion of rights. The construction sector tends to be affected due to already present job insecurity, it observed in low levels of education and wages, and due to high turnover that characterizes the sector. On this basis, this work was motivated to understand the implications of law 13.467/2017 in collective bargaining at SINTRICOM- JP, labor union representing construction and furniture workers in João Pessoa (PB) and metropolitan area. For this purpose, we intend to contextualize general aspects of economic and social transformations from the late 1900s to the 2018s, with emphasis on the period of the global economic crisis (2008-2018), establishing dialogues around labor relations and trade unionism, as we progress for the development of object analysis that we created. Therefore, the analysis took as reference the following items: ultraactivity of the agreements, flexibilization of the working hours, fulfillment of the rights and obligations, and remuneration profiles, it treated in collective negotiations. In methodological terms, we raised collective conventions developed by SINTRICOM-JP in the last seven years in order to understand changes and permanence in these documents understanding them as results of social forces in action. We have also included the information gathered from Dieese, Ministry of Labor and other bodies in order to understand facts and phenomena from other angles that may be related to collective bargaining.
