A labor-law amendment expressly excludes domestic and rural workers

📅 11 Oktober 1945 📍 Brazilië

Decree-Law 8,079 revised Article 7 of the CLT, listing domestic workers and rural workers among those to whom most provisions did not apply. The legal split was not written as a race clause, but it tracked occupations historically shaped by slavery and disproportionately performed by Black Brazilians, especially Black women in domestic work. Legal exclusion helps explain the long delay before these workers approached the protections enjoyed by other sectors.
