Consolidation of Labor Laws
The Consolidation of Labor Laws Decree Law No. 5452 (Portuguese: Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho, CLT) is the decree which governs labor relations in Brazil. It was issued in 1943 by Getúlio Vargas, President of Brazil and was officially adopted on May 1st, 1943. The Constitution allowed him to issue decrees to regulate all matters that were supposed to be regulated by the federal legislative branch while the Parliament didn't assemble. The Parliament never assembled during the period in which that Constitution was valid.[1]
The CLT was partly inspired by labor laws under Benito Mussolini in Italy.[2]
