Grand finale da obra de Oliveira Vianna em nossa Constituição?

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the interpretation of Oliveira Vianna about the phenomenon that triggered the development of the new urban working class, as well as their conflicts. By Vianna's analysis of labor union and normative power of the Labor Court, it intends to describe the proposal of the author about this issue, from the origins of his theory and the way in which these institutions were present in our Constitutions, including as real possibilities of change. It adopted the dialectic method to confront the author's works, which are guided in solidarism, corporatism and the American legal realism updates, with the works of their critics. The main findings indicate that the presence of Vianna’s model in the Constitutions reduced the possibilities of the working class as a historical subject, because it is a proposal which favored the legislated and unrepresentative labor unions.
