FUP (Single Federation of Oil Workers) Represents Most Petrobras Employees, Reported That This Would Be “The Best Option”
The Single Federation of Oil Workers (FUP) indicated to its unions the approval of the collective labor agreement (CLA) negotiated with Petrobras. Under the proposal, salaries will not be adjusted until August 2021. In return, the state-owned company guarantees that it will not terminate any employee without just cause until August 31, 2022.

The recommendation for the approval of the CLA came from the federation’s deliberative council and will be presented to employees through assemblies held by affiliated unions for them to vote on its approval or not. The FUP’s assessment of the company’s latest counterproposal is that, given the crisis and also the labor conditions imposed by the new legislation, the best option would be to close the agreement.
“We knew that negotiations with the current Petrobras management would be difficult, not only because of the challenge of mobilizing our workers due to covid-19, but due to the very political and economic context of the country,” said the general coordinator of the FUP, Deyvid Bacelar, in a statement from the federation.

Under the agreement, salaries will only be adjusted in September 2021, based on the National Consumer Price Index (INPC); a discussion group will be formed to define the rules for remote work; and the company committed to negotiate the payment conditions for profit sharing and results (PLR) for 2021, incorporated last year into a new compensation regime, the Performance Bonus Program (PPP). The Federation also reported negotiations regarding health assistance, pharmacy benefits, and meal vouchers.
