Access to labor courts in Brazil:

Inequalities between employees and employers

Abstract

The specialist literature tells us that the structure of costs for access to labor courts in Brazil is differentiated for employees and employers. And this differentiation in the cost of access generates a series of problems, including several abusive and opportunistic behaviors, by workers, and also by employers. Over time, these behaviors tend to detract from the legitimacy of this branch of the justice system, which finds itself entangled in this problem, albeit completely involuntarily. In this article, we seek to verify a series of matters relating to this debate, on the basis of new empirical evidence.
