Electoral harassment: judge explains how to identify political pressure in the workplace

cbn27 August 2026 at 21:27

Electoral harassment in labor relations has been taking on new forms with the advancement of digital communication tools, and a study by the Labor Court analyzed 662 cases on the subject between May 2023 and December 2025. Judge Rodrigo Trindade, supervisor of the Judicial Research Center, explained on CBN Studio the new forms of political pressure in companies, including the use of WhatsApp and social networks, and warned about the proximity of elections as a risk factor for new cases. Electoral harassment is characterized by any form of punishment, embarrassment, stimulation, rewards or coercion in the workplace related to workers' political preferences.

Chronicle: Ana Carolina Silva | Signing without reading: can a contract be annulled due to ignorance of its clauses?

This chronicle by Ana Carolina Silva addresses the legal question of whether simply signing a contract without reading it beforehand can constitute grounds for its annulment. The article clarifies that, when signing a contract, the person declares acceptance of its content, and cannot later claim ignorance of the clauses as a reason to invalidate the agreement, except in specific situations of defects in consent or abusive clauses. The signature should not be viewed as an empty formality, but as an act of conscious acceptance of the contractual conditions.
