Abstract

The article intends to understand what do the actors demand before Brazilian Supreme Court in labor matters, by studying direct actions of unconstitutionality sued at moments of intense judicialisation, under the perspective which not only privileges the decisions, but also the arguments brought in the petitions, as a way to aprehend the multiple readings of labor rights in the field of constitutional interpretation. This research points to a new phenomenon: the involvement of actors other than traditional representatives of capital versus labor relationship, which reveals a field for several studies about the contribution of society in the creation of constitutional normative content.
