Abstract

Up until recently, both the figures of the Union and of Labour Law could have been represented by a house —a home— with its core values of sturdiness, permanence, security and predictability. In the past few decades, both have undergone a shift and are now more closely represented by the figure of the street, with its core characteristics of insecurity, surprise and a lack of stability. This brief article covers the concept of transformation, hypothesizing what the future may have in store for Brazil’s Labour Law, particularly in the period following the COVID-19 pandemic. With a multidisciplinary approach, and a particular focus on doctrinal works, the research brings forward supporting arguments for the hypothesis
