Justice of Bahia vetoes wage reduction and cut of rights imposed by Petrobras on oil workers

Bahia: Petrobras will have to pay shift oil workers all additional payments guaranteed in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (ACT) for the category. The state-owned company will also have to negotiate with the unions any changes it intends to make in relation to what is agreed in the ACT.

This was the decision of labor judge Giselli Gordiano, from the 8th Labor Court of Salvador (TRT- 5th Region) who granted Sindipetro the request for urgent relief determining that Petrobras “refrain from changing the working conditions provided for in its corporate internal standard PP-1PBR-00515”.

In her decision, released yesterday (27), the judge ordered Petrobras to immediately suspend the reduction in wages and the cut in rights and benefits imposed by the company's management on workers in Bahia who work in the administrative regime and those in the operational area who were transferred to administrative jobs because of the covid-19 pandemic.

The decision applies to all employees “even when active in an administrative/teleworking regime, in the months of April, May and June 2020, or any subsequent periods under the same conditions, pursuant to the above grounds.”

The judge also determined that the discounted amounts be deposited on the salary advance sheet for the month of June 2020, with full payment of salaries.
