With More Than 7,000 Individual Labor Lawsuits, in Addition to 47 Collective Actions, This Is the Largest Ongoing Lawsuit on the Topic Against Petrobras, and According to the Oil Company, It May Cause a Billion-Dollar Impact on the State-Owned Company’s Coffers

According to Reporter in Brasília Flávia Maia from Jota Pro Poder, the appeal against the decision of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, which overturned a billion-dollar labor condemnation involving the Brazilian oil giant Petrobras, will be judged starting on February 11 by the 1st Panel of the Supreme Federal Court (STF).

Labor Lawsuit Against Petrobras Could Cause a R$ 47 Billion Impact on the State-Owned Company’s Coffers

The lawsuit that will be judged this month by the STF concerns the calculation of remuneration established in a collective agreement from 2007, called Minimum Remuneration by Level and Regime (RMNR), which had been applied by the company. In 2018, Petrobras lost this same lawsuit by 13 votes to 12 in the plenary of the Superior Labor Court, which deemed the company’s calculation irregular.

In the Supreme Court, Petrobras achieved victory because Minister Alexandre de Moraes, the rapporteur of the appeal, understood that the agreement did not eliminate or reduce labor rights, nor was there any violation of the principle of equality among the company’s workers.
