The purpose of this article is to investigate labor relations in Brazil and the role of the State in seeking to guarantee workers minimum rights to assure their dignity. For this, the topic of national mediocracy is discussed on the prism of the mediocrity of politicians, governors and public officials in general and their petty and dishonest attitudes. The subject is also treated in a historical approach, from the Absolute State through the Liberal State and its transition to the Social State, specifically in Brazil, from 1934, where the state intervention is used mainly to rise one’s life sustained in politics and public careers. The research was developed through bibliographic research and interpretation of legal texts, also seeking a historical perspective, which allowed to conclude that state intervention should be used to enhance the country and benefit its citizens, with the disappearance of the privilege for few people and building a true democracy.
