Live from São Paulo, Brian Mier reports on the wave of strikes against neoliberal cuts in Brazil - in opposition to laws setting the retirement age above life expectancy, and in spite of the American and Brazilian corporate media downplaying mass protest numers and dismissing the harshest edges of the Temer government's post-coup takeover.
Brian published the piece “There is no negotiation whatsoever”: Union leader Douglas Izzo talks about labor rights in post-coup Brazil for Brasil Wire.
Brian Mier is co-editor at Brasil Wire, Brazil correspondant for TeleSur English's news program From the South, and host of Globalistas on TV 247. You can follow Brian on his Substack.
