Cadastro de empregadores infratores: instrumento eficaz no combate ao trabalho análogo à escravidão

Abstract

Labor in conditions analogous to slavery persists in contemporaneity, despite the signing of the Lei Áurea in 1888. This study aimed to examine legal measures to abolish contemporary slave labor. The research method used was the deductive method. The subject was explored through qualitative research based on legal dogmatics in doctrinal books, monographs (graduation and postgraduation ones), scientific articles and in consultations on the Internet. We focused on the recent legislative progress of the Interministerial Ordinance No. 4 of the MTE, which refers to the Registry of Offending Employers, known as "Dirty List", wondering about the effective collaboration of this List in combating this type of human exploitation, which reduces the worker to the condition of property. It was also questioned the compatibility of this Ordinance with the Federal Constitution of 1988, considering possible conflicts between the principles of human dignity and the protection of the image of the companies involved. The Constitutionality of the Dirty List was examined by means of the recent judicial conflicts which arose in order not to divulge it. In summary, this work concluded by the adequacy of the dirty list to the constitutional and infraconstitutional legal order, serving as an important repressive and inhibiting instrument to this practice.
