Drowning in Laws
Since 1943, the lives of Brazilian working people and their employers have been governed by the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT). Seen as the end of an exclusively repressive approach, the CLT was long hailed as one of the world's most advanced bodies of social legislation. In Drowning in Laws, John D. French examines the juridical origins of the CLT and the role it played in the cultural and political formation of the Brazilian working class. Focusing on the relatively open political era known as the Populist Republic of 1945 to 1964, French illustrates the glaring contrast between the generosity of the CLT's legal promises and the meager justice meted out in workplaces, government ministries, and labor courts. He argues that the law, from the outset, was more an ideal than a set of enforceable regulations--there was no intention on the part of leaders and bureaucrats to actually practice what was promised, yet workers seized on the CLT's utopian premises while attacking its systemic flaws. In the end, French says, the labor laws became "real" in the workplace only to the extent that workers struggled to turn the imaginary ideal into reality.
Philosophical and Sociological Reflections on Labour Law in Times of Crisis
Starting from the assertion that crisis is part of the essence of labour law, this volume brings together researchers in the field who accepted the challenge to critically reflect on this branch of the discipline. As the COVID-19 pandemic has had a global impact, labour law across the world must come to terms with a new reality. In this context, it would be prudent to adapt to new circumstances by taking known paths. To this end, this book reflects on what effectively constitutes labour law, considering questions which are not usual within labour law. Insights from philosophical, sociological and even economic standpoints are mobilised to reconcile the past with the future of labour law.
Individuals' Income Under Double Taxation Conventions
This book analyses the treatment of income of individuals under Brazilian double taxation conventions. Each article of the Brazilian tax treaties is analysed in order to identify its characteristics, field of application, limits and criteria applied in the identification of taxpayers. The OECD Model Convention is also considered, since it is mirrored in Brazilian conventions. The analysis reveals the unconstitutional nature of Articles 17 and 19 of the Brazilian treaties as they contradict the constitutional principle of isonomy.
Labor, Human Rights and Public Policy
Public policy discussions are, at any time, a major issue in any government, since they are a fundamental part of government agendas and the main mechanism for the realization of human and social rights. Brazil is a country that has a growing importance in the international arena, especially for its environmental and cultural riches, making it a country of extreme geopolitical relevance. Nevertheless, issues such as security, hunger, education, health, transportation, and democracy are constantly put to the test in the face of its development, size, and conflicts.Therefore, this work aims to bring important reflections on this theme, analyzing the public policies regarding labor and human rights. And in the midst of this, social policies must function as tools to realize human rights and restore balance. It is a great book for understanding better the labor environment in Brazil and how it is affecting human rights safeguard.
Arbitragem e Conflitos Individuais do Trabalho
A arbitragem é um método adequado de solução de conflito heterocompositivo no qual se pode discutir controvérsias relacionadas a direitos patrimoniais disponíveis, que serão submetidas ao juízo de um árbitro ou de um corpo de árbitros (terceiro imparcial), que resolverá a controvérsia trazida por meio de uma decisão arbitral. As partes que forem capazes de contratar e que quiserem levar suas controvérsias à arbitragem poderão fazê-lo mediante convenção arbitral (cláusula compromissória e compromisso arbitral). Diante dessa definição inicial, alguns questionamentos podem surgir. É o caso da possibilidade de a discussão relacionada aos direitos trabalhistas ser levada ...
Principled Labor Law
The gig economy, precarious work, and nonstandard employment have forced labor law scholars to rethink their discipline. Classical remedies for unequal power, capabilities approaches, "third way" market regulation, and laissez-faire all now vie for attention - at least in English. Despite a deep history of labor activism, Latin American scholarship has had scant presence in these debates. This book introduces to an English-language audience another approach: principled labor law, based on Latin American perspectives, using a jurisprudential method focused on worker protection. The authors apply this methodology to the least likely case of labor-protective jurisprudence in the industrialized world: the United States. In doing so, Gamonal and Rosado focus on the Thirteenth Amendment as a labor-protective constitutional provision, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act. This book shows how principled labor law can provide a clear and simple method for consistent, labor-protective jurisprudence in the United States and beyond.

Cidadania trabalhista e sustentabilidade humana e socioambiental nas relações de trabalho
Esta obra traz temas imprescindíveis para a reflexão do Direito do Trabalho na modernidade. Cidadania e sustentabilidade são dois conceitos interdisciplinares e fundamentais para o desenvolvimento da sociedade e não podem deixar de ser objeto de estudo e pesquisa neste ramo do direito que cuida de uma relação tão importante e que ocupa grande parte da vida das pessoas, qual seja: o trabalho. Com as novas formas de prestação de serviços na era digital, inseridas pela propagada "revolução 4.0", as reformas na legislação trabalhista impostas pela política neoliberal e a necessidade de proteção à dignidade do trabalhador, os trabalhos que compõem essa coletânea norteiam todos...
