Abstract

Society has been through great and profound changes driven by work, from the first steps of humanity to nowaday’s impressive technological advances. By the advent of industrialization, trade unions became important agents of social transformation, playing a main role in the conquering rights and democratic achievements. In this scenario the paper will analyze the challenges and difficulties faced by workers in the face of the new morphologies of work, the prospects for the union movement in Brazil based on the impacts of the Labor Reform and the changing scenario for workers and unions after the electoral victory over the neoliberal project of Right-wing extremist ideology in 2023.
