Anyone who passes by Via Verde Shopping, in Rio Branco, between this Wednesday (28th) and Saturday (31st), can see up close a work that usually takes place away from the spotlight, but is essential for guaranteeing rights. An exhibition set up in front of Lojas Riachuelo draws attention to the work of labor inspection and the role of tax auditors in defending decent conditions for workers across the country.
The exhibition takes place on a date full of symbolism. January 28th marks Labor Auditor-Fiscal Day and National Day to Combat Slave Labor, remembering the Unaí Massacre, which occurred in 2004, when three inspectors and a driver were murdered during an inspection in Minas Gerais.

For the regional superintendent of Labor in Acre, Leonardo Lani de Abreu, the episode represents a watershed. “It was a milestone in the history of labor inspection in Brazil, which highlighted the risks faced by these professionals and the importance of the State in protecting the fundamental rights of workers, especially the most vulnerable,” he stated.
The exhibition presents to the public how tax auditors work in combating child labor, work similar to slavery, promoting health and safety in the workplace and strengthening work relationships based on legality and respect for human dignity.
By occupying a highly circulated space, the initiative seeks to raise awareness in society about the relevance of labor inspection as an instrument of social justice and sustainable development, in addition to paying tribute to the professionals who perform this function, often under adverse conditions.
Visitation is free and continues until January 31st, always from 4pm to 10pm, at Via Verde Shopping, in Rio Branco.
