Brazil's Lula Launches Reelection Bid Amid Growing Gig Economy Challenges
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has launched his final reelection campaign, focusing on adapting his Workers Party's message to Brazil's growing gig economy. With formal employment declining and app-based work rising, Lula proposes shorter work weeks and protections for digital platform workers. However, resistance from companies and skepticism among young gig workers pose challenges. His main right-wing rival, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, aims to attract these workers ahead of the October elections.
