O direito a saúde mental como garantia fundamental do trabalhador

Abstract

This article aims to make an analysis of work activities and how it can influence worker health, focusing on mental health. It is possible to clarify that, with the evolution of technology and sectors of the economy, the labor market has become increasingly competitive, and this consequence has become dangerous since it weakens the psychological health of the employee, who lives under constant pressure to bring the retorna that the company expects. This fragility as a result of work has led a considerable number of workers to ask for leave from their activities, generating high costs for the company and irreparable consequences for the employee. In this sense, the study of the theme is of paramount importance, since a healthy work environment and health are fundamental social rights ensured by the Federal Constitution of 1988. Thus, the work aims to show the relevance of the theme for society by tracing an analysis from the evolution of labor rights, to the right to mental health considered fundamental and the consequences of non-observance of this right in employment relationships.
