Brazilian groups rally on labor, indigenous rights and judicial reforms
From 2–3 August, a seminar in Belém, Pará will bring together campesinos, Indigenous peoples and traditional communities to devise strategies against large agribusiness, mining projects and to address violence against activists, including discussion of a Senate bill that seeks to cut the protected Flona Jamanxim area by 40 percent.
On 10 August, Brazil will observe a National Day of Struggle against the 6×1 work schedule. Trade‑union leaders are urging senators, especially Senate President Davi Alcolumbre, to advance the constitutional amendment that would end the 6×1 regime after its recent approval by the Chamber of Deputies.
In Belo Horizonte, representatives of Sitraemg and Assojaf‑MG met with the secretary of the TRT‑3 judicial mandates office on 27 July to demand clear regulations on workload limits, regional allocations and transparency for justice officials, insisting that the eight‑point daily quota be respected.
