Abstract

The purpose of this research is to make a quantitative and qualitative analysis of religious discrimination in the employment relationship by examining the judgments of the Tribunal Superior do Trabalho (TST), a third-party body degree of Labor Justice. It was sought to understand how has been the treatment of this type of discrimination in the TST judgments, what would be religious discrimination in the employment relationship, how labor justice assesses religious discrimination in the employment relationship, what are the main religions of victims of discrimination in the labor context, which were judged in the TST, what are the main attitudes of employees and employers who contribute to the propositions of such lawsuits, what the main legal norms were used to solve the labor disputes that involved discrimination or offense to religious freedom. At the end of the research, considering the analyzes of the TST and European Network Against Racism (ENAR) judgments, a tool for managing religious diversity in employment relations is proposed to reduce discrimination and offense of religious freedom in industrial relations and contribute to decrease losses with lawsuits.
