A utilização da arbitragem na solução dos conflitos individuais de emprego: uma abordagem acerca da legitimidade da privatização da justiça nas relações subordinadas de trabalho

Abstract

A current debate topic where dissent is found both among scholars and in judicial decisions is concerning the possibility of using the Arbitration Law - Lei 9.307/96 - to resolve individual labor disputes. Created in order to resolve in a fast and confidential way the disputes from civil relations, trade, it also focus on international contractual relations, the arbitration law is not adapted to the peculiarities existing in the relationship between employee and employer. However, it has been widely praised and encouraged its usage as another way to solve conflicts arising from individual employment relationships. Despite the real difficulties experienced by the judiciary power to quick deliver the tutelage, providing higher trial's effectiveness, the acceptance of alternative conflict resolution mechanisms should be better evaluated, and especially adapted to the different relationships existing in the Brazilian legal system.This new unrestricted introduction of arbitration to resolve conflicts, especially employment conflicts, as the only viable alternative to the judicial services' slow pace provided by the state have to take into account the peculiarities of this branch of law, which is essentially permeated not only by legal issues but mainly by economic and social questions.
