Summary/Abstract: Since 2016, Brazil has been living with signs of a democratic rupture that ended the previous virtuous cycle of economic growth with social inclusion. In addition, the resumption of the neoliberal prescription has been destructive of social and labor rights, concomitant with high unemployment and generalization of precarious jobs. The connection of what occurs in Brazil with the more general transformations in the world of work allows us to broaden the context in which current capitalism favors the attack on Brazilian social and labor rights. As a result, there are reactions that seek to gather forces that are not always sufficient to face the downgrading of living and working conditions.
