The Left Bloc (Bloco de Esquerda or BE) has introduced a package of labour reforms ahead of this week's parliamentary debate. Their proposals include salary increases for night and shift workers, a ban on dismissals decided by artificial intelligence, and new protections for outdoor workers during extreme weather. The party describes these measures as a litmus test for the government's commitment to worker protections.
