O compliance como instrumento de combate ao trabalho em condição análoga à escravidão

Abstract

The Brazilian legal system has several norms that assure the right to work in decent conditions. However, in practice, not all workers enjoy the rights / conditions that guarantee the minimum civilizing level at work, where there are places where workers are summarized to the situation analogous to slavery. In order to combat labor under these conditions, there are some state agencies, such as the Regional Labor Superintendences and the Public Prosecution Service, which oversee and punish companies that subject their employees to conditions of contemporary slavery. It turns out that these state institutions are currently undergoing a process of dismantling, so that it is understood that the complementation of the fight against slavery can be carried out by private means. Thus, it is believed that, in addition to the State's commitment to combat slavery, companies should also assume a socially responsible role, in guaranteeing the fundamental right to worker dignity, and in this regard, need to take a diligent stance with objective actions aimed at to combat slave labor. In this context, the present monographic work proposes the adoption of labor compliance by companies aimed at fighting slavery, as it is an institute that will add value to the employer's business and, concomitantly, will bring benefits to the whole society.
