I'd like to divulge the table of contents of the first number of the Labor Sciences Journal, a new academic/activist journal founded by DIEESE - the Inter-Union Department of Statistics and Socioeconomic Studies in Brazil. The titles of the articles are below, in Portuguese and English, as well as the link to access them. It's an excellent resource for scholars of labor in Latin America.
