President Lula’s Decision to Veto the Law That Would Eliminate the Hazard Pay Aims to Ensure the Safety of Drivers Working in the Freight Transportation Sector.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) made an important decision last Friday (11/03) by vetoing a law that would directly affect drivers transporting cargo and passengers. The law, approved by a Senate committee in early October, aimed to eliminate the hazard pay for drivers using vehicles with extra tanks for fuel transportation. The justification for this veto was published in the Official Gazette.

The vetoed text sought to amend the CLT (Consolidation of Labor Laws) and, more specifically, the section addressing hazard pay for certain activities.

One of the situations mentioned in the law is when workers are exposed to flammable materials, explosives, and electricity.

Lula Points Out Lack of Objective Criteria in the Vetoed Legislation

President Lula, in justifying the veto, pointed out that the law lacked “objective criteria and parameters” to determine when the presence of flammable materials in specific quantities would be deemed dangerous.

In his words, “the legislative proposal contradicts the public interest, as it would establish, in law, scenarios for the decharacterization of the hazardous nature of activities and operations without indicating, in an objective manner, criteria and parameters for the quantities of flammable liquids or liquefied gases that may be transported in order to ensure the protection and safety of workers in the freight and passenger transport sector, in disagreement with the provisions of labor legislation.”
