Variations in law are constituted by adaptations to social reality, they happen as a consequence of changes in social, cultural, economic and technological development models, which generates new production techniques. These adaptations and changes in labor legislation create a problem in its substance, which is related to the sense they take. The economic tendencies which have productivity and competitiveness as principal references that oriented the reform to Federal Labor Act of 2012 are a cause of concern. The new dispositions relative to atypical forms of hiring constitute an antinomy with the 2nd article of the Federal Labor Act because there is no congruence between the purpose of promoting decent or dignified labor and labor rights' flexibility, generating a consequence of uncertainty, labor precariousness and employment instability.
