>Brazil's labor laws treat the "workers" as stupid people, unable to negotiate good terms by themselves. Hmm, ok that's quite a view. I would say that nearly all works are certainly unable to negotiate good terms by themselves. The only workers that can negotiate their own terms are the small minority that are very highly skilled and in demand... laws like this are trying to help the vast vast majority who have NO power because the employer can just replace them with anyone else at the drop of a hat.
