This study aims at investigating the current configuration of Work Rights, bearing in mind the adjustment attempts promoted by Neoliberalism that occurred in the last four years of President Lula’s government. The workers’ collective claims expressed in the legal texts, mainly the ones referring to losses in issues such as the “collective agreement”, the “payroll withholding”, and in the extension of the weekly work period, fomented by the opening of shops on Sundays, will be analyzed in detail in this work.
