Abstract

In early February 2020, the Brazilian government declared a public health emergency. In the second half of March, with the advance of the COVID-19 cases and the occurrence of the first death, other measures, considered emergency, started to be adopted. This text deals specifically with a set of measures with a direct impact on labor relations. In doing so, it seeks to reflect on how the context of the pandemic has been converted to government and business sectors as a pretext for the advancement of precarious work, drawing a scenario that is certainly harsher and more harmful to the health and life of those and those who make a living out of their own job.
