EFFECTS OF INDIVIDUAL FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF FREEDOM IN EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIPS
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS. EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIPS. DRITTWIRKUNG.
The individual rights of freedom elevated to the category of fundamental rights are subjective rights conferred to individuals and that restrict the possibility of state action. In a vertical understanding, these rights turn directly and immediately to the public authorities, which must refrain from interfering adversely and unjustifiably in the freedom of individuals. From the horizontal point of view (Drittwirkung), there is a doctrinal discussion about the origin of an objective dimension and its corollary radiant effect, the effectiveness and the mode of incidence of fundamental rights in private relations, in view of the phenomenon of constitutionalisation of the legal system - debated in the States of Law since the second half of the 20th century. In Brazil there is a vigorous adherence to the direct application of the fundamental rights of individual liberty in labor relations, the fruit of an emancipatory social engagement spread after the advent of the Federal Constitution of 1988, which reflects the reasons manifested mainly in Portugal, Spain and Latin America. The present work analyzes the problematic affiliation to this thesis from the dogmatic one of the fundamental rights and not from the dogmatic legal-labor. Therefore, it does not justify the protection of the worker in the legal position that he holds before the employer, but in the state duty of non-intervention or action to prevent abuses, discrimination and illegalities in labor relations in which there is violation of individual freedoms. It will be tried to reject the results that can be considered acceptable and correct because of the prevalence of political and ideological conceptions, but that disregard their construction and necessary dogmatic adequacy.
