Overview

  • The Ministério Público do Trabalho reported 1,937 complaints by Oct. 26 and said roughly 530 more arrived in the two days after the second-round vote, showing a post‑election spike in allegations of pressure, threats or retaliatory firings tied to voting choices.
  • The MPT filed dozens of civil actions during the campaign, obtaining 52 liminares and signing 53 conduct‑adjustment terms to stop coercive employer practices and to require neutral workplace rules that protect workers’ right to vote.
  • A labor court in Rio de Janeiro ordered deputy Índia Armelau on Oct. 27 to remove social‑media posts that urged employers to check and fire pro‑Lula employees and to refrain from encouraging dismissals under threat of daily fines.
  • Coordinated social‑media campaigns produced circulating 'boicot' lists and public calls for demotions that prompted police probes and local investigations in multiple states, with targets including retailers, small businesses and public servants.
  • Authorities are urging victims to preserve digital evidence such as screenshots, messages and audio and to file complaints with the MPT, labor courts or electoral bodies because workplace electoral harassment can trigger civil damages and criminal charges.
