On November 14, 2017, three days after the Labor and Employment Reform coming into effect, President Michel Temer issued a Provisional Measure amending the original bill sanctioned on July 14th, 2017.
After approximately 2 months and 178 amendment requests, the Brazilian Senate approved the labor reform bill of law last Tuesday (07/11/2017) without any change to the original text submitted by the House of Representatives. There were 50 votes in favor, 26 in opposition, and 1 abstention. As there were no changes suggested by the Senate, bill of law no. 38/2017 will now be sent for the sanction of the in-house President Michel Temer.
