Abstract:
This article discusses the Social Security System (SSS) (PEC n. 287/2016), with particular attention to the reduction of workers' rights, under the justification of the SSS deficit. The analysis, based in legal documents and bibliography revision, includes the "reformists" measures adopted also by the Fernando Henrique, Lula, and Dilma governments in relation to SSS. It is concluded that the measures, like a real counter-reform are based on the logic of the private sector, and transforms social rights into goods and beckons for the drastic reduction of such rights.
