O uso das mídias sociais e os reflexos no contrato de trabalho: tensão entre a liberdade de expressão do empregado e o poder disciplinar do empregador

Abstract

Nowadays, due to the great use of the Internet and social networks, it is necessary to identify the weaknesses of this unbridled use, especially with regard to the employment relationship. Increasingly, workers have been exposing themselves to these digital platforms and with that they have been increasing the cases of employees who express opinions and comment on their place of work, their colleagues of work and even of their superiors hierarchical. In view of this conflict, it is necessary to analyze whether the dismissal of the employee for just cause based on information taken from the internet violates the employee's right to freedom of expression or represents a regular exercise of the employer's disciplinary power? Thus, the present study aims to analyze the tension between the freedom of expression of the employee in the face of dismissal for just cause based on information taken from the internet. The conclusion will be given after the use of bibliographical reviews and through the qualitative research, where different authors will be analyzed that deal with the subject.
