In an interview given to the newspaper O Globo, Luiz Marinho, the new minister of Labor, informed that there is a possibility that the anniversary withdrawal from the Severance Indemnity Fund (FGTS) may be extinct. When speaking, he did not give more details about the changes in the project.
Marinho officially took over the Ministry of Labor last Tuesday, the 3rd, then released some information about what his mandate considers a priority. He has been at the head of the ministry before, as he held the position during the first Lula administration in 2005. He was also mayor of São Bernardo do Campo from 2009 to 2016.

"We intend to put an end to this", said Luiz Marinho about the modality.
It is believed that this is a measure of disapproval by the fund planning in the previous government. Marinho pointed out the way they used it was “irresponsible and criminal”.
In the words of the new minister: “When citizens need it (the FGTS), they don't have it. As there have been complaints from dismissed workers who go there and have nothing”.
The FGTS can be invested to finance real estate. Marinho was a minister in Lula's first government and projected that the fund could be used to finance projects, generate jobs and finance production.
It is also their proposal to resume the Minimum Wage Enhancement Policy, based on the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). He pointed out that he intends to make readjustments.
Plans for the first six months
Marinho stated that there is a need to carry out a type of “sliced labor reform” in the first six months of the year and which intends to include companies and workers in the discussion to hear the opinions. He denied that he intends to revoke what was approved in the previous reform.
“What will happen is the gradual construction of a new labor legislation to value collective bargaining and strengthen wages”, he added. He also informed that he intends to strengthen the labor market and strengthen labor legislation so that jobs are generated.
“In part-time, temporary, intermittent hires, everything dances. It doesn't have FGTS, it only has Social Security. What we need is to strengthen the labor market. We are not saying that for all segments of work there will be CLT. You have workers who can be inserted in the solidary economy, based on cooperativism, other instruments, based on individual microentrepreneurs (MEI)”, he concluded.
