Abstract

Given the context of constant changes in wich the Labour Law in Brazil is found, aiming, above everything, accompany the dynamics of the labor market, the flexibilization of labor laws emerge as one of the most discussed institute in this branch of legal science. This is due to the impact that this institute has, since it goes beyond the scope of relations between employer and employees and becomes relevant even in general economic and social relations. Despite being a reflection of the constant mutation in which Labor Law is subjected, there is a need to safeguard certain labor guarantees achieved throughout the entire historical evolution of labor standards. In that regard, the present study seeks, through bibliographic and documentary research using the analysis of the doctrine and national legislation, with the use of deductive method, to establish what are the main limitations that the institute of flexibilization of labor laws finds facing the protection given to the figure of the worker by the Brazilian Constitutional norm.
