Labor unions deliver 'workers' agenda' to congressional leaders.
Among the items on the agenda, the labor unions propose repealing the 20-year freeze on public spending, strengthening collective bargaining, maintaining the policy of increasing the minimum wage, combating slave and child labor, and defending strategic sectors, represented by Petrobras and Eletrobras.
By Rede Brasil Atual - Representatives of trade union centers delivered this Wednesday (20) to leaders of Congress the "priority agenda of the working class", a document approved last 6 with proposals for the next period, starting from the October elections. Leaders were received by the president of the House, Eunício de Oliveira (MDB-CE), who according to them regretted the non-processing of Provisional Measure (MP) 808, which would "correct" some points of the labor "reform" (Law 13.467).
Among the items on the agenda, the labor unions are proposing the repeal of the law, as well as Constitutional Amendment 95, which freezes public spending for 20 years. The union leaders also propose strengthening collective bargaining, maintaining the policy of increasing the minimum wage, reducing working hours, combating slave and child labor, and defending strategic sectors, represented by Petrobras and Eletrobras.
"This document is based on a debate among the labor unions. It addresses the issues of employment, development, and the countryside," said the general secretary of the CTB, Wagner Gomes. "It's an important day for the unions. The agenda seeks to correct flaws in the labor reform, which removed workers' rights and even attempts to break the union structure," added the 1st secretary of Força Sindical, Sérgio Luiz Leite, known as Serginho.
