Public transport services in Pilar do Sul, a city in São Paulo state, Brazil, have been temporarily suspended after the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) interdicted the company responsible for the service. This action came during an operation conducted on the morning of Thursday, October 12, following a formal complaint lodged with the Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship. The MTE's intervention was supported by the Labor Public Ministry (MPT), which highlighted serious allegations detailed in a 74-page document that included accusations of mistreatment, moral harassment, and even torture of employees.
