Sugarcane cutter in Brazil The mobile group of inspectors from Brazil's Ministry of Labor and Employment (Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego - MTE) rescued 284 cane cutters in Palmares, from the sugar plantations Barra D'Ouro and Poço, from Usina Vitória Agrocomercial Ltda, owned by José Bartolomeu de Almeida Melo, better known as Beto da Usina (Beto of the Plant).

what a way to make a slave
written by Forrest Allen Brown, December 12, 2008
human rights in brasil is near zero

thies people work some times with there intire family
working so they can make the quota for the day so they will be paid
much less maks bouns .

and the lack of health care , school , food .
are just the tip most live in company houses and get there food box (yal are so proud of ) and no pay they are slaves and if they
complain they are shown the rode with out even there pay to go .
the only job worser in brasil would be a charcoler ,
and we dont even want to go there .

the owners punishmunt should be work in the fields for 2 weeks and live as his slaves do .
and a stiff fine or jail .

and from the looks it is only going to get
food up in brasil .
selling to overseaS MARKETS
driving food at home high ,
fuel prices up , taxes up ,

but no pay up
go lula you have killed the dream
and did not start a war of arms

You symbolize the stereotypical arrogant, illiterate, stupid, loud, dumb american. In addition for being a former faggot coward US marine… In short, the cut & run boy.

This idiot cannot even write correctly in his own native language. Florist, You Are Less Than the Sum of Your Parts!

it is just a stoner living off its parents money
unable to make a go of it on its own .

moving around its little world in a haze of somke and self doudt.
unable to make sence of life as it is because its world in brasil
is baced on lies , miss trust ,
spoon fed to it by the press, government & family
to be given a job it is not qulfide for as its parents have bought for it .and some day if it robs enough people lies enough it hopes to make it into political office .
may god help brasil as it can't help itself with this type of people
incharge

Hey kids, this is what happens when you either fail or dropout of school... You become a slave of your own 2nd grade education. Besides being very embarrassing, it is quite limiting.

Remember kids, it's smart to be smart, stay in school!

No Water, No Toilet, US$ 6 a Day: The Life of a Brazilian Sugarcane Cutter

And how Robin the Crook and his gang are telling the world how Brazilian ethanol is good, how brazilian ethanol is cheap, and how brazilian ethanol is oil competitive at US$ 35.- per barrel....despite having lost money when oil was well over US$ 100.- !

And also when 2 years ago your Insane Vice President Açucar (Alencar) said publicly....THERE ARE NO SLAVE IN OUR BRAZILIAN SUGACANE FIELDS.
They work on contracts guaranzeing them well over the minimum wages !!!!

RIGHT OR NOT ?????

Who is the racist ? Me or your sugarcane farm owners totally protected by your Courts of INjustice ??????

Enjoy the viewing of this video and be proud to be Brazilians :

And it is not any different in your coffee farms, charcoal industry, large cattle farms and for your Amazon deforestation !!!!!

Viva Lula, Viva Lulaa, Viva Lulaaa !!!!
He and you are so proud of his policies and performances !

I have driven the road between Recife and Palmares. Practically the whole trip, the roads are lined on both sides with sugar cane fields. The terrain is quite hilly and I couldn't imagine having to cut the cane on those slopes. They cut the cane by hand--nothing is mechanized. It's as if nothing has changed since the colonial days. Brazil is certainly backward.
