Labor Law is a set of principles, rules and institutions that mediate subordinate employment relationships and similar situations, aiming to ensure better working and social conditions for workers, in accordance with the protection measures intended for them.

Labor Law has numerous rules that deal with the matter, most of which are contained in the CLT.

The Federal Constitution was implemented in 1934, containing within it Workers' Rights. But before that, standards had already been created that defended workers' benefits. Check out some of these:

• Work Accident Institute (1919)
• National Labor Council (1923)
• Right to 15 working days vacation (1925)
• Creation of the Ministry of Labor (1930)

In the current Constitution, approved on 10/05/1988, we can find Labor Law provided for in articles 7 to 11. Article 7 deals with individual and protective rights at work. Article 8 deals with the union and its relations. Article 9 specifies rules on strikes. Article 10 determines the provision on the participation of workers in collegial bodies. And article 11 ensures the election of a workers' representative in companies with more than 200 employees.

All these developments allow the worker to not only serve the company, but to enable it to continue performing his role in a healthy and fruitful way.

However, sometimes, the employee or employer fails to comply with their obligations, among the main labor rights.
