Cases of forced labor are again in evidence in Brazil. Men hired to work in the grape harvest in Bento Gonçalves, in the Serra Gaúcha, were rescued last week in a situation analogous to slavery. At least 207 workers reported having been deceived by the promise of temporary employment, a salary of R$4,000, accommodation and meals.

To understand the repercussions of this case and what configures a job as analogous to slavery, presenter Isabella Faria receives this Monday (6) reporter Caue Fonseca, correspondent in Porto Alegre, on the program Como é que é?.

According to reports, workers were physically abused and prevented from leaving the premises. They worked for two companies contracted by Aurora wineries, Cooperativa Garibaldi and Salton. The three say they were unaware of the situation. The men have already returned home.
