Resumo: Neste trabalho tem-se por escopo analisar a decisão proferida pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal no Recurso Extraordinário 590415/SC, que afirmou, com repercussão geral, em sentido contrário aos precedentes do Tribunal Superior do Trabalho, a tese de validade da renúncia genérica a direitos emergentes da relação de emprego mediante adesão do empregado a plano de demissão voluntária previamente aprovado por acordo coletivo de trabalho. Trata-se, com a identificação dos principais argumentos utilizados pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal na afirmação da tese, de problematizá-los à luz dos princípios e direitos fundamentais no trabalho, com especial ênfase para a questão da limitação da autonomia da vontade do empregado em razão da assimetria de poder entre os sujeitos da relação de emprego. Conclui-se que a decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal constitui precedente flexibilizador desses princípios e direitos.Palavras-chave: Demissão voluntária. Princípios e direitos fundamentais. Relação de trabalho. Renúncia. Transação.

This study analyses the impact of American judicial doctrines upon recent Charter decisions relating to Canada's collective bargaining laws. The first section of the paper explores the constitutional foundations of the Canadian and American labour regimes in terms of the fundamental values entrenched in their respective constitutional arrangements. The second section of the paper is an overview of the Charter era labour regime as it has been articulated by the Canadian judiciary and, in particular, by the Supreme Court of Canada. It is the mixed results of this part of the investigation that led us to some tentative conclusions about the impact upon Canadian courts of American judicial influences.

After reviewing the evolution of the Court’s approach to freedom of association (though excluding the Court’s discussion of the corollary freedom not to associate), this paper reviews the Supreme Court of Canada’s 2015 cases on freedom of association, also known as the 2015 Labour Trilogy, and discusses their implications: Mounted Police Association of Ontario v Canada (AG) addressing the right to join a union; Meredith v Canada (AG) addressing legislation overriding predetermined wage increases; and Saskatchewan Federation of Labour v Saskatchewan addressing the right to strike.The paper then discusses how the 2015 Labour Trilogy reinvigorated the values underlying the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and how it applies to strikes not directly relative to collective bargaining.

In a 1979 article in the Yale Law Journal, more than a decade before Gilmer v. Interstate/Johnson Lane Corp., 500 U.S. 20 (1991), where the Supreme Court started giving employers the green light to mandate as a condition of employment that their employees arbitrate their statutory claims, Julius Getman cautioned against the wholesale importation of arbitration under collective bargaining agreements to other types of disputes (...

This article analyzes the decision of the California Supreme Court holding that strikes by public employees are protected at common law. It is argued that the judiciary has intruded itself into a subject which should be regulated by the legislature. By creating a rule lacking in administrative safeguards, the decision may lead to labor conflict and disruption. In any event, public negotiations vitally affect the interest of the citizen, and citizens should have a voice in designing public sector collective bargaining systems.
