TST (Tribunal Superior do Trabalho)

The Tribunal Superior do Trabalho (TST) is Brazil’s highest court for labor-related disputes. It oversees the application of labor laws, ensuring consistency in decisions made by regional courts called Regional Labor Courts. The TST reviews appeals from these courts, settles legal questions, and guarantees the uniform interpretation of employment laws across the country. Its judgments impact employment rights, working conditions, and employer-employee relationships, playing a key role in maintaining justice and legal order within Brazil’s labor system.
