A TRAJETÓRIA DOS DIREITOS CONQUISTADOS E A CONJUNTURA DOS DIREITOS GARANTIDOS AO EMPREGADO DOMÉSTICO

Abstract

In the beginning, the rights specified in the Federal Constitution were minimum and uncontestable, but not consistent with the principle of equality, nor nor with the principle of dignity. Gradually, the scenario changed and, even that, in a slow and delayed manner, the reality of this category of workers began to modify. Thus, the present article aimed to discuss the rights won by the domestic workers over time, especially with the Constitutional Amendment. n ° 72/2013 and, recently, with Complementary Law n ° 150/2015. Therefore, we opted for the review of literature on doctrines, scientific articles, electronic documents and legislation pertinent to the topic addressed. It was evidenced that the category suffered from discrimination for a long period, but there is no doubt that constitutional rights ensured for domestic servants, and which are in force at the time, are a milestone in the history of work and labor law. It has been concluded that it is undeniable that equality of rights for workers in general must be guaranteed, and that equal treatment of domestic workers meant a step forward in promoting the rule of law and defense of the dignity of the human person.
