São Paulo labour court rejects bingo worker’s employment claim
The 16th Panel of the Regional Labour Court of the 2nd Region in São Paulo rejected a worker’s claim for recognition of employment at a bingo operation, ruling that services connected with an illegal activity did not create an employment relationship. The worker had sought recognition and severance pay; the company argued that the work was occasional and charitable.
The ruling affects employment claims involving workers at bingo operations in São Paulo.
