Bahia Court Blocks Salary Reductions and Rights Cuts Imposed by Petrobras on Oil Workers
Bahia: Petrobras will have to pay turnaround oil workers all the additional benefits guaranteed under the Collective Labor Agreement (CLA) for the category. The state-owned company will also have to negotiate with unions any changes it intends to make regarding what is agreed upon in the CLA.
This was the decision of labor judge Giselli Gordiano of the 8th Labor Court of Salvador (TRT-5th Region), who granted the urgent protection request from Sindipetro, determining that Petrobras “refrain from altering the working conditions outlined in its internal corporate regulation PP-1PBR-00515.”
In her ruling, issued yesterday (27), the judge ordered Petrobras to immediately halt salary reductions and cuts in rights and benefits imposed by the company’s management on workers in Bahia who are in administrative roles, as well as those from the operational area who were transferred to administrative jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision applies to all employees “even when active in an administrative/remote work regime, in the months of April, May, and June 2020, or any subsequent periods under the same conditions, per the aforementioned reasoning.”
The judge also ordered that the deducted amounts be deposited in the salary advance sheet for June 2020, with full payment of salaries.
