Law that provides for equal wages between women and men was sent to Lula’s Civil House – 02/27/2023 – Mônica Bergamo

The working group created in the Lula government to propose rules that prohibit the salary difference between men and women in the country who hold positions and carry out similar jobs has already forwarded the proposal to the legal sector of the Civil House.

Its submission to the National Congress may still take place in March, when International Women’s Day is celebrated.

TWO SIDES

The Minister for Women, Cida Gonçalves, says that the Equality Law, as it is called, will not only provide for penalties for employers who fail to comply with the rule, but also create incentive mechanisms for those who promote equal pay for male and female workers.

FINAL STRETCH

The project was discussed in a working group made up of the portfolio and also by the Ministries of Labor and the Civil House. After completing his studies, he is now undergoing legal scrutiny by the government.

IN THE PAPER

Equal pay is already addressed in articles of the CLT (Consolidation of Labor Laws) and in the Constitution itself, which prohibits “differences in salaries, performance of functions and admission criteria based on sex, age, color or marital status” .

FOR REAL

Despite this, gender inequality persists in Brazil, according to several studies and surveys. The law under study by the government will have a more specific approach to try to make progress on the subject.

SIDE BY SIDE

The minister claims that she has already mobilized 20 government ministers to present the measures aimed at women that are being planned or implemented in each portfolio. Everyone should go on the 8th to the Women’s Day ceremony with Lula, at the Planalto Palace.
