The set of laws that regulate labor relations completes 80 years this Monday (1st). And the date is no coincidence: the decree-law that created the Consolidation of Labor Laws (better known as CLT) was signed in a packed stadium by the then president, Getúlio Vargas, on Labor Day. Vargas used to take advantage of the date, a national holiday since 1924, to announce measures aimed at the worker – it was like this in 1940, with the implementation of the minimum wage, and in 1941, when the Labor Court was created. The CLT inserts a series of labor rights into Brazilian legislation, and regulates working hours and working conditions, remuneration and benefits such as weekly rest, vacations, maternity leave, social security and more. In 2013, when the rule completed 70 years, Caminhos da Reportagem, on TV Brasil, aired an episode to tell the story of the CLT and how it changed the relationship between employees and employers: But the text that started to be valid that year from 1943 is no longer the same. The main changes in the CLT came in 2017, when the labor reform came into effect. There were more than 100 articles amended, and the inclusion of two types of hiring: intermittent work (per day or hour of service) and telework, called home office (distance work). In a special article published at the time, Agência Brasil highlighted some of the main points reformulated by the reform: collective agreements and conventions, vacations, working hours, time at the company, rest periods, remuneration, dismissal, hour bank, outsourcing and more. Labor Day, on May 1st, recalls the struggle of workers to guarantee working conditions. It is a holiday in Brazil and in about 80 countries. On this day in 1886, workers in Chicago, in the United States, took to the streets to demand a reduction in the workday from 13 to eight hours a day. The demonstrations dragged on for the next few days, and resulted in deaths. História Hoje, from Rádio Nacional, explains how May 1st came to be considered workers’ day in several countries: In the rhythm of jazz Before May begins, April ends with a day dedicated to jazz. This Sunday (30th) is International Jazz Day – declared by Unesco based on an initiative by the American pianist Herbie Hancock. Jazz has a permanent place on MEC FM Radio nights, with the program Jazz Livre! (browse for full episodes). In 2019, Na Trilha da História, on Rádio Nacional, dedicated two episodes to telling the trajectory of jazz: the first deals with the origins of jazz and the second, how the process of rhythm sophistication took place. And, of course, jazz classics pack all the talk.

But the movement went beyond student and labor issues, and ended up influencing the culture and politics of an entire generation, in countless countries. That’s what this article from Repórter Brasil, from TV Brasil tells: May 1968 was also the subject of this episode of Na Trilha da História, which portrayed the world in that emblematic year. In addition to the student marches, the Vietnam War and the assassination of Martin Luther King also took place in 1968.
