CarioCa Carolina Marinho, 37, reached Portugal in September 2024 full of dreams. She was born and created in the German complex, a group of slums in Rio de Janeiro, who chose the country to obtain a doctorate in literary studies, a desire that came from her mother’s commitment, a teacher, about 40 years ago, established a library working inside the daytime care center. Despite all the dedication of the study, Carroll, as friends call it, decided to work to enhance the budget. With expenses in the euro and without a full scholarship, I went to the battle. In March of this year, he got a place in Datelli Shoe Lodge in PRTTION Park, Aveiro Shopping Center, North. First, partially, then throughout the day.

“Even a PhD at the University of Affiro, I decided that it is necessary to get a job. I don’t see anything too much, completely the opposite,” I also agreed to obtain the minimum wage per month: 870 euros ($ 5,230). What Carol did not expect is to be a victim of a blow to a company in the second month of work. This Wednesday (04/30), she and another colleague, Catherine Tafaris, 28, arrived at work and were amazed: the store no longer exists.

The entire goods are removed, as with shelves and service meter. Even the ground carpet has been taken. In the windows of the institution, sheets of paper were placed to hide the void from the place. “It was terrifying to feel unable. For a contract, which was four months, I must receive nearly 3 thousand euros ($ 18,000),” Carroll says.

Neither she nor Catherine nor another old maid, Andre Carneero, 55, who resigned weeks ago, received what was because of them. The owner of the institution, Fernando Milo, did not satisfy them. She did not answer calls, nor did he respond to the messages sent by asking what happened. “All this happened a day before May 1, when workers’ day is celebrated, ” “We are facing lack of respect without size,” he added. “I can never imagine that this will happen to me one day,” “Andrea, who was working in Datelli for about two years and believed to be respectful by the former president. Brazil sought public, Melo did not comment.

Fake contracts

Carroll and Kahirin worked naturally until last Sunday (04/27), when they were informed that in the next two days, the store will undergo renewal. “I still asked Fernando if it was better to mark the door warning customers that the renewal will be quickly and that everything will be united on Wednesday, but he does not want it,” Catherine recalls. She relied on the salary of this month of only 450 euros ($ 2700) for a while to help home expenditures, as she would receive galaxies coming from Brazil.

But what is most worried is that the employment contract provided by the store has been delivered by it AIMA Agency (AIMA) For Portugal’s residence permit. He says, “I don’t know what to do if the contract is rejected,” he says. This opportunity is recognized, because it and Carol, as soon as they realize that it fell into a blow, went to social security and found that their job contracts were never registered with the institution, which is compatible with the social security of Brazil. “This is, our contracts were wrong,” Catherine regrets.

Andrea says that during the period she worked in Datelli, there were several months without contributing to Social Security. “Last December, my husband conducted a survey and found that for seven months without social security payments. I spoke to Fernando, and she insisted and ended up paying these seven months at the same time. But since then, he has not made any contributions,” she says, who still has to obtain 736 euros ($ 4.2 thousand). He says: “We believe that we worked for up to 12 hours a day, and standing, because we were unable to sit. It was the only time I sat when I went to the bathroom.”

Some operations

Resorting to the three employees who were injured by Datelli Act Conditions Authority (ACT)The body responsible for receiving complaints of non -compliance with employment contracts. The Andrea session was scheduled to be held on May 7, Carol and Catherine on September 9. On Thursday, Carroll presented a police report in Republican National Guard (GNR). They are also ready to search for the Labor Party Prosecutor’s Office to try to obtain a free defense lawyer. Labor justice is pushed in Portugal, unlike Brazil. ACT was not received by email by the Brazilian public, until this article was closed, but the space is still open.

The 2023 GNR report indicates that strikes against workers grow in Portugal, especially online. Facilities are provided to those interested in jobs, with wages over the market, but for progress, you must pay value first, by the fraudsters. This same alert is made before Public Security Police (PSP)Emphasizing that one of the favorite fans of the fraudsters is immigrants. “The victim responds to the attention of the announcement of the work, as a value has been requested regarding expenditures, that is, the issuance of an entry visa in the country or personal documents,” PSP says.

In the case of Andrea, Carol and Catherine, a firm company presented an open company inside a shopping center. “But this does not mean much,” says Labor lawyer, Raul Coelho. “There are companies that benefit from the fragility of documentary films for immigrants and ignorance of local laws to pay insulting salaries or even negligence. Many of these immigrants are afraid of condemning issues because they will believe that they will be deported, and the loss of everything they built in Portugal,” he explains.

This is one of the justifications for a low number of work procedures in court. “In the Lisbon Court in 2023, there were only 1500 registered cases. It is very little,” he says. “It also contributes to it, the fact that everything is pushed.” In order for workers the right to obtain free justice, he must prove that he is unable to pay a lawyer and bear the costs of the process. He says: “Therefore, many people give up imposing fees on their rights, and this is a mistake,” he says. In any case, the lawyer recommends that those with ACT actively search to file a complaint and confirm whether the contracting companies are still active.
