Greve e ética na Universidade

Abstract

The right to strike is ensured by the Brazilian Constitution and was regulated by law for the private sector. In view of Congress' failure to regulate this right for the public sector, the Supreme Court ruled that the same law for the private sector should be applied, with adaptations. Public universities may contribute to improve the Brazilian model of collective labor relations, internally respecting and ensuring the exercise of the right to strike, in keeping with their code of ethics and with applicable constitutional principles.
