As recentes decisões do Supremo Tribunal Federal sobre a competência da justiça do trabalho para julgar as causas que envolvam servidores públicos temporários

Abstract

It analyzes the recent Supreme Court decisions regarding the competence of the Labor Court to adjudicate cases which involve temporary civil servants, recruited according to Article 37, section IX of 1988 Federal Constitution. After EC No 45/2004, which effected the reform of the judiciary, the wording of paragraph I of art. 114 of CF/1988 has been modified, increasing the labor justice’s competence by using the term "working relationship" instead of "employment relationship". Studies the scope of that constitutional provision giving the doctrinal and jurisprudential positions related, in order to establish whether, on this basis, the court shall have jurisdiction to decide labor conflicts stemming from temporary appointment by the Public Administration. Demonstrates the importance of the delimitation of competence for this type of demand, which has great social impact, as it has been found numerous irregularities in hiring these servers by Public Administration.
