State Labor Councils
The State Labor Councils are usually internal and deliberative organs created to promote political discussions on the State Departments of Labor and Employment, and to ensure citizen participation in decisions related to labor and employment. Their task is to establish guidelines and priorities for state-level employment policies and labor relations. The councils in the field of labor are formed by three political actors: representatives of workers, employers and the public sector - the so-called tripartite formula. They are present in all Brazilian states and in the Federal District.
