Cargo transportation is now subject to different rules
Brazil’s House has approved a bill that creates a regulatory framework for cargo transportation in the country. It was part of the government’s laundry list of promises made to independent truckers at the end of May to convince them to bring a halt to their 10-day strike, which pushed the country into shutdown mode, with most big urban centers experiencing fuel and food shortages.
Among its provisions, the new legal framework establishes that the relationship between cargo transportation companies and independent truckers cannot be considered as a standard labor relationship. Even when truckers don’t have their own company and are directly hired for jobs, they won’t be able to claim labor rights from the companies.
