The labor unions and the labor collective actions – the privileged legitimacy

Abstract

The present study analyses the legitimatio ad causam for the collective actions, specially, those involving employment relationships, always with emphasis on the participation of the unions as the main legitimated. The privileged legitimization’s study was ratified by the analysis of the bills, as well as the class action’s system, unquestionable source of the essays on collective demands. Thus, admitting the collective actions as one of the most modern and efficient way of defense of the interest of the mass, the study expects to attribute more responsibility and prestige to the unions, in the perspective of recognizing in its figure the adequate representative of the class, contributing, with the worldwide tendency of union development, propagated in the freedom and comprehensive representation.
