What’s Happening Now Brazil: The current racial inequality is not consistent across all socio-economic classes, and there still exists a large racial gap favoring whites in almost all classes Chile: Michelle Bachlet is currently spurring a cultural and political revolution in Chile, breaking through the “male ceiling” in the labor market and government while bringing sexual harassment and physical abuse issues to light Ecuador: The unemployment rate is still at 10%, which has resulted in a very competitive labor market for skilled workers, and very little options for the unskilled workforce, resulting in an unsettled middle class and high levels of child labor abuse.

Ecuador and Labor Issues Unions did not exist until 1930, and between 1950 and 1973, a total of 3,093 unions were established Ecuador Confederation of Free Trade Union Organizations is the biggest union in Ecuador In 2002, there were 3.7 million employed wage earners in urban areas In 2002, only 12% were affiliated with a union organization The Ecuadorian government has a framework around legal work weeks (40 hrs.), child labor laws (boys under 12 and girls are 14), health and safety standards, and minimum wage ($118/month)

Chile and Labor Issues Chile’s unionization efforts developed slowly until the 1930s, when the labor force became a political force The Central Union of Chilean Workers is the largest labor confederation As of 2002, 10% were affiliated with a union organization Their government structure allows for a annually adjusted minimum wage ($157/month), and has parameters around strikes, legal work weeks (48 hrs.), and child labor laws (15 yrs.)

Brazil and Labor Issues Brazil’s unionization structure was created after 1930, based off the structure of Italy and Portugal 20-30% of the labor force is currently affiliated with a union organization The largest union federation in Brazil are Workers’ Unitary Central, the Workers’ General Confederation, and the Forca Sindical Their government structure allows for a annually adjusted minimum wage ($85/month), and has parameters around strikes, legal work-weeks (44 hrs.), safety regulations, and child labor laws (16yrs)
