The Labor Prosecution Office (MPT) has opened a Fact Report to investigate a possible case of electoral harassment after receiving a recording in which businessman Luciano Hang, owner of the Havan retail chain, gathers employees in Caldas Novas (GO) and speaks about the proposal to end the 6x1 work schedule. In the video, Hang claims that the change would increase labor costs, reduce workers' purchasing power, and force some of them to seek a second job.
When criticizing the proposal, Hang calls the measure "electoral fraud" and claims that politicians want workers' votes in the October elections. The businessman is known as a supporter of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
The recording came to the MPT's attention on Monday, which confirmed it had become aware of the content and decided to open an investigation to determine whether there had been political coercion over the chain's employees. The Fact Report is the first step in the investigation, which may or may not result in a formal investigation.
