How are workers rights ? Our laws are very protective for the worker 30 days leave per year , we have a double pay on december , called 13 salary , but some people say they are too old and want to relax the lawsLook for CLT which is the consolidation of workers rightsMinimum wage ? We have a federal minimun wage , but every state can choose their own mininum , as long they are above the federal . The federal wage now is R $ 880260 USD , for comparison , the avg wage in Brasil is R $ 2 . 227650 USDUnions ? We have unions and is mandatory for the worker to contribute to themannually fee is one workday , most of people don ' t like them because we view them as lazy and corrupt people that do nothing for workersStrikes ? This days is kinda rarebut still happens for the private worker to strikepublic servants do strikes a lot . Minimum amount of holidays ? It varies because we have federal , state and municipal holidays , I think the average is 1215 days a year and depending the company when there is a holiday on thursday for example we are able to not work on fridayit ' s up to the company to decide and sometimes we have to compensate this off timeParental leave ? 5 workdays for fathers and 46 months for mothersagain it ' s up to the company , minimum is 4 , but government kinda subsides 2 more months if the company wantsInsurances ? Not sure what do you mean by insurance , most of people have life insurance by the company though Protection against getting fired ? Private workers can be fired anytime , but if you are not being fired for done something very bad , the employer have to pay you a fine . It ' s a little complicated , we have something called FGTS , it ' s a fund that is maintaned by the government in which the company have to pay monthly based on the workers wage , it ' s about 1 monthly age per year , so if you have being fired after 10 years working on the company with a 10 . 000 wage a month , you ' ll have 100 . 000 plus some low interests in this fund , if the company does not have a what we call as JUST CAUSE to fire you it will have to pay 40 % of this fund which in this case would be more 40 . 000 for the worker . Public servants can ' t be fired unless they have made something reaaally bad . Sorry for the very poor english .
