Cadeias produtivas do setor têxtil : análise da responsabilidade trabalhista decorrente da terceirização e do trabalho escravo

Abstract

This research approaches the responsibility over slave labour in the productive chains of the Brazilian textile sector. It examines conceptual, historic, and normative aspects related to outsourcing in Brazil, since productive chains reflect a type of outsourcing classified as external (externalized) in production, in which all of production is projected outside of the company. Following this, it analyses the way in which contemporary slavery is exteriorized in productive chains in the fashion industry in a context of globalized capitalism. Finally, using concepts connected to the a-contractual theories of employment, as well as aspects connected to the integrative subordination and formation of economic groups of labour, it fundaments the solidary responsibility shared by all companies that integrate the productive chains in the fashion industry when considering the hypothesis of flagrant slave labour in Brazilian territory.
