July 12, 2017

Reuters reported Brazil’s Senate on Tuesday gave final congressional approval to an overhaul of the country’s labor laws; the bill, which passed in a 50-to-26 vote following approval in the lower house of Congress, will be sent to beleaguered President Michel Temer to be signed into law. The bill modernizes some labor laws dating back to the 1940s and includes new rules for remote work and temporary workers.
