Meio ambiente digital e a pandemia da covid-19 análise das mudanças tecnológicas e produtividade da justiça do trabalho

Abstract

This monograph presents the transparency between the Digital Environment, the Covid-19 Pandemic, and the productivity of the Labor Court during the pandemic period, through the analysis of the various technological changes imposed by the coronavirus. In view of this, the main concepts related to the topic were addressed, with an emphasis on analyzing the performance of the Labor Court between 2019 and 2022, by determining the number of cases judged, sessions and hearings held and the average period of procedural processing. To do so, we used bibliographical, documentary and legislative research, and mainly the data made available in the General Report of Labor Justice, published annually by the Superior Labor Court (TST). As a result, we highlight the significant reduction in the number of cases judged and the number of trial sessions and hearings held by labor justice bodies, as well as an increase in the average procedural processing time, with a reasonable reduction in 2020, but with a return to the average processing time in the following years. In short, we conclude that the technological changes that occurred in the Labor Court due to the imposition of the Covid-19 pandemic, despite presenting their advantages, did not prove to be satisfactory, given the decrease in productivity, described by the reduction in the number of cases judged, sessions and hearings held, and an increase in the average procedural processing time.
