Abstract

This article is the result of research carried out jointly with six Unions from Rio de Janeiro, in 2020 and 2021, to evaluate the impacts of the Labour Reform of 2017 on male and female workers and the Unions, considering that these actions have contributed to increased employment precarization and the reduction of employment protections in Brazil. Based on empirical research and a thorough bibliographic review, the outcomes point to increasing precarization of working relationships and demostrate the Unions’ resistance to this and their fight in defence of employment rights.
