Assédio eleitoral no ambiente de trabalho: análise da atuação do Ministério Público do Trabalho

Abstract

This paper analyzes violence and electoral harassment in the workplace, a relevant topic in the legal scenario and public debate. The investigated issue raises the following question: how does the practice of electoral harassment manifest itself in labor relations, and how has the Brazilian legal system addressed this illicit conduct? The main objective was to conceptualize electoral harassment, identifying its historical roots and examining the existing legal mechanisms for prevention and repression, with special attention to the role of the Public Labour Prosecution Office (Ministério Público do Trabalho - MPT). The methodology employed is qualitative, involving bibliographical and documentary research, and case study analysis, using doctrinal and jurisprudential sources, as well as institutional data. It is demonstrated that the MPT acts effectively through prevention and repression, revealing a progressive institutionalization of the fight against electoral harassment in labor relations, contributing to the strengthening of the democratic process and the protection of fundamental rights in the workplace.
