I am from São Paulo. About our labor laws: They were created by a populist and fascist (I mean in the literal meaning, guy admired Mussolini) government, they are very, VERY, VEEEERY rigid and extreme, to the point Brazil has more "informal" workers than "formal", thing is, "informal" is just euphemism for illegal, basically the labor laws are so bad that most of the population work illegally. I am 33, and I NEVER, had legal work, never found one, and thus for example I can't get unemployment benefits and many other rights. Reason for that is these jobs are extremely rare, because it is ludicrously expensive to offer them, in some fields of all money a company spend in personel, 95% go to government (usually it is around 60%). --- Now the second subject, is Uber relationship with Brazil, basically government so far been very hostile to Uber, and tries everything to screw with them, thing is, Uber (and competitors) here been a blessing, not just because it meant "cheaper cabs", but because it was only thing that could rid of Taxi Mafia. Here in Brazil we have not only strong medallion laws, but often there are corrupt politicians in the Taxi Mafia, where they find excuses to not grant medallions legally, so they can sell them in exchange of bribes and favors, before Uber existed this got to a point where Taxi drivers would kill competitors on the street for some reasons, for example picking up passengers in an certain area without permission from the Taxi Mafia was a reason for that person to be killed.
