Dear Readers,
The time has come for the Journal of Substantive and Procedural Labor Law, organized by ANAMATRA in partnership with LTr Editora, to address the most sensitive and varied topics arising from the approval of Law No. 13,467/2017, better known as the "Labor Reform."
At the time of Issue No. 58 of the Journal (a fact clarified in the previous Editorial), "the bill was in full swing, and it was ultimately approved by the National Congress, bringing numerous impacts to labor legislation."
This Issue, in turn, seeks to address the main impacts of what was actually approved by the National Congress.
That is why topics such as the universality of union dues, the standardization of jurisprudence, intertemporal law for procedural law issues, the control of conventionality, the discipline of attorney's fees for the losing party, fundamental rights in the face of the prevalence of what is negotiated over what is legislated, among others, were addressed in this theme.
This edition of the Journal also features an interesting article addressing proposed changes to labor legislation in the French system, providing readers with an international understanding of the matter.
As an accompanying material, we present to readers the Statements approved at the 2nd Conference on Substantive and Procedural Labor Law, an event organized by ANAMATRA, which was attended by over 600 participants, including judges, labor prosecutors, labor auditors, and lawyers.
This was the first major national event of studies and debates, focusing exclusively on the impacts of the Labor Reform.
With this, we continue the analysis of the main aspects inherent to the Labor Reform, which began with previous publications of this Journal.
And, for the next edition, we will prepare a new selection of articles, exclusively addressing the main issues and changes involving union law, resulting from the enactment of Law No. 13.467/2017.
To our readers, we renew our invitation to this important debate. Enjoy your reading.
July 2018.
