📋 Tender Overview
The President of the Republic Luiz Incio Lula da Silva ordered the Ministers of Labor and Employment Farm Planning and Budgeting Social Security and Development Industry and Commerce as well as to the General Secretariat and Civil House of the Presidency of the Republic to develop a new policy to increase the value of the minimum wage. The dispatch guiding the construction of the proposal was signed this Wednesday 118 in a ceremony with the participation of Minister Luiz Marinho Labor and Employment and leaders of trade union centrals at the Planalto Palace in Braslia DF. The deadline for preparation is 45 days extendable for an equal period.On the occasion President Lula emphasized that labor changes are necessary but that they need to be instituted in a responsible and programmed manner. I can feel that you are thirsty for democracy You are thirsty for participation because you know that we cannot do everything at once. You know that our motto is Union and Reconstruction of this country. Because we we took this half-destroyed country. The Transition Commission found all areas of the government very fragile he contextualized.Indeed the purposes must be modernized according to the president to meet the demands of the working class. We need to reinvent ourselves at the structural level. We need to reinvent ourselves in building a new relationship between capital and work. Thats why were going to create a negotiation commission first with the unions with the government and with businessmen to put an end to this story that the application worker is a micro-entrepreneur advised Lula.With the new formatting of the market and the constant transformation in work dynamics President Lula understands that it is the duty of the unions to support a continuous process of improvement to accommodate new workers. We want to build together with the union movement a new union structure. We want to build the establishment of new rights which we want to constitute in an economy totally different from the economy of the 1980s he said. Lula proposes two lines to articulate a better quality of life and work for citizens reducing informality especially that which is disguised as individual entrepreneurship and reassessing income tax in social strata.In this country those who pay real income tax are those who have a payslip because it is deducted from the payment and we cannot not pay it. But the truth is that todays poor people who earn R 3 thousand pay proportionally more than someone who earns R 100000. He even pays because those who earn a lot pay little because those who earn a lot receive as dividends receive as profit receive as anything to pay little income tax he argued the president.To correct this disproportion according to Lula the goal is to change the charging levels in line with the earnings of each worker and exempt those who receive up to R 5000 a month. We are going to reduce it for the poor and increase it for the rich. We are going to reduce it a fight is necessary. You have to know that we do not win this if there is no mobilization of the Brazilian people for us to change the tax policy once in a lifetime to put the poor in the union budget and put the rich in the income tax.WORK FRONTS The Minister of Labor Luiz Marinho explained that two groups will be structured to resolve the unions demands and the needs of Brazilian workers. We will have in 30 days two more working groups valuing collective bargaining and reorganization to strengthen Brazilian unions. Because a democratic process needs strong unions. And the other working group equally important is for us to build the process of regulation and regulation for workers on application platforms he described.Marinho defends the securitization of the worker as a priority for public management and criticizes the exploitative face that the labor market imposes on new forms of employment. We follow the anguish of app workers who sometimes have to work 14 16 hours a day to bring bread and milk home. This in my concept of work borders on slave labor.Two fronts are urgent according to the minister valuing work and bringing social protection. He cited as an example a delivery worker on a motorbike a bicycle who ventures into traffic and has an accident. Who protects him during the period he loses his ability to work It is this issue that we want to resolve once and for all in addition to working on the valuation process he replies.To implement all the changes the joint effort of a transversal policy is the main ally of the Lula government. It is necessary to be aware that this appreciation of the minimum wage will be carried out by the government as a whole. For this reason the Planning the Treasury the Civil House the Industry the Social Security are present in the working group. Because we are going to do it respecting the predictability of the economy said Marinho.At the conclusion of his speech the minister emphasized that societys demands are a priority. In 18 days of government we do an activity like this to say we will institute the group to value the minimum wage. If compared to President Lulas first government this act was carried out at the end of 2005. See how fast we are in resuming the leadership of the president Lula with the willingness to unite Brazil unite the working class and rebuild public policies rights and rebuild Brazil.
