Reforma Trabalhista

avanços e retrocessos

Abstract

The Labor Reform inserted several changes in the CLT and caused an uproar in the legal world, with supporters and detractors on both sides. Doctrine, jurisprudence and legislation oscillated from the old unconditional protection to the hyposufficient to a situation where balance became the keynote of the capital x labor relationship. The labor changes were so many that it took legal operators a long time to process the changes. However, seven years later, the country is already adapted to the new rules, which, it seems, were positive, and most importantly, the unemployment rate is the lowest since 2011, which is a sign that, apparently, the Labor Reform has improved labor relations, prioritizing what is negotiated over what is legislated, stimulating negotiation, arbitration and alternative forms of resolving labor conflicts, avoiding, as much as possible, judicialization.
