Labor Prosecution Office and social articulation: Analysis of PRT-13’s performance opposite to COVID-19

Abstract

The study aimed to demonstrate how the work of the Labor Prosecution Office, as a social articulator, allowed the incitement and conduct of public policies to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to prevent and minimize its effects on the labor world, specifically analyzing the performance carried out through the Regional Prosecutor’s Office of Labor from the 13th Region (PRT-13). Through the use of a methodology consisting of exploratory research and indirect  ocumentar technique, with  ocumentar and bibliographic research modes, it was possible to verify that, by expanding its actions of a resolutive nature, the Labor Prosecution Office represented a significant support for the working class in face of the pandemic. It was concluded, nevertheless, that this type of action still needs to be stimulated, considering that the Prosecution’s Office performance continues to be notably demanding, therefore the expansion and structuring of a resolutive Prosecution Office is needed.
