Reforma Trabalhista, Flexibilização e Crise no Direito do Trabalho

  • Categories: Law

A presente pesquisa investigou a flexibilização da jornada de trabalho estabelecida pela Lei no 13467/17 a partir da revisitação da história do direito do trabalho. A flexibilização foi estudada mediante a intersecção entre os fatos sociais e a as ideologias que permearam os processos de construção e de reconstrução do direito laboral. Esse diálogo permitiu a identificação do real objetivo desse ramo jurídico, qual seja: a busca pela realização da justiça social. Nesse ponto a obra chega no cerne da discussão proposta: a realização da flexibilização da jornada alinhada aos escopos dos direitos humanos. Para atingir esse desiderato o livro apresenta algumas ideias de modernização do direito do trabalho de modo a torná-lo mais dinâmico e congruente às demandas tecnológicas sem que haja nesse movimento a ruptura da justiça social. Em suma, essa obra traz análises importantes para compreensão do passado, do presente e do futuro do direito do trabalho.
