As relações de emprego no agronegócio: enquadramento, contratação e direitos correlatos

Abstract

This study focuses on the analysis of employment relations in Brazilian agribusiness, addressing its legal framework, hiring modalities, and related rights. The research is justified by the pressing need to examine the adequacy of current rural labor legislation to the contemporary dynamics of the sector, seeking a balance between economic development and the social protection of workers, in accordance with the principle of the Dignity of the Human Person. To this end, the main objective is to outline the employment relationship in the countryside, identifying necessary points for restructuring in the regulations and oversight to ensure the effective realization of the rights and guarantees of rural workers. The methodology employed is the deductive method, complemented by theoretical, bibliographic, and documentary research, with analysis of doctrine, legislation (notably Law No. 5.889/73), and jurisprudence. The work is structured in three main chapters. The first deals with the historical evolution of Labor Law in rural areas, contextualizing the trajectory of legal worker protection. The second chapter is dedicated to the legal framework of rural workers and the impact of legislation on agribusiness, exploring the criteria for identifying rural activity. Finally, the third chapter delves into the study of contractual modalities applied to rural work, detailing the types of contracts and the rules governing employment relationships in the countryside.
