Overview

  • A presidential decree set up a working group housed in the Secretary‑General of the Presidency with a 60‑day mandate.
  • The agenda focuses on a minimum income guarantee, accident insurance or social security coverage, and transparency of platform algorithms.
  • Participants include the Labor Ministry and MDIC, with confirmed involvement from the TST and MPT, plus invited deputies Joaquim Passarinho and Augusto Coutinho.
  • At least one meeting is planned before year‑end, with Guilherme Boulos aiming for consolidated consensus by late January or early February and signaling a push for sanction as early as March–April if Congress advances the bill.
