Rapporteur of the project that in Brazil, the deputy (Republicanos-PE) intends to include other service provision programs in the text, which must include a common social coat for platform workers.
“I’m going to include all the intermediation platforms. Now, we’re just not going to include . In fact, I don’t even know it, okay?”, he says, in reference to the paid adult content subscription platform.
The complementary bill, by deputy Luiz Gastão (PSD-CE), is in a special committee created to analyze the merits of the proposal. Coutinho wants to vote on the report in the collegiate body by November 20, to give the president of the Chamber, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), time to bring the text to the plenary later this year. “What we cannot allow is for them to legislate for us. Which, by the way, is what .”
For him, the project has and, in the deputy’s opinion, was very contaminated by the electoral moment. “Because it came from the government,” he says. “THE [ministro Luiz] Marinho has been fighting the system since 2023. They politicized it too much. The minister’s project was excellent. It was the opposition who politicized it.”
“Then it was election time, they came to say that they were going to charge workers taxes, which is a lie. Everywhere there was someone who called himself president of the union or association who was a candidate for councilor. None of them were elected. The group was campaigning”, he continues.
Coutinho says that this is now pacified and cites as an example the fact that the commission is chaired by deputy Joaquim Passarinho (PL-PA), from the opposition.
The rapporteur wants all workers to have a common coat and praises one of the proposals he received, from Abrapp (Brazilian Association of Closed Supplementary Pension Entities), to adopt .
Coutinho also advocates that workers have accident insurance, so as not to transfer the account to the State in case of any mishap.
“We need to give this worker insurance. We need to give him a pension. We need to provide a minimum level of comfortable working conditions,” he says. According to him, the workers he has conversations with do not ask to follow the CLT (Consolidation of Labor Laws) regime.
