Embraer Announces End of Home Office, Ignores Unions, and Upsets Workers! The Decision Affects Thousands of Employees, Who Now Demand Negotiation.

Embraer announced this week the end of home office for administrative and engineering workers. The unilateral decision has outraged employees.

According to the Metalworkers’ Union of São José dos Campos, the entity has therefore called for a meeting this Thursday (13) at the main entrance of the Faria Lima unit.

Since the beginning of the year, there have been rumors that Embraer would announce a return to 100% in-person work.

In February, the Union sent an urgent request for a meeting to discuss the matter with the company. But the request was ignored.

In an internal statement, Embraer stated that the measure applies to all companies in the group.
In Brazil, the return should occur on August 4.

With this arbitrary decision, Embraer claims it will stop paying the cost assistance related to home office.

Furthermore, it will also suspend meal vouchers for employees in units that have dining facilities. About 5,000 employees will be affected in São José dos Campos and surrounding areas.

This abrupt change affects the daily lives of workers. In addition, it directly impacts the routines of their families.

Many were hired under home office or hybrid arrangements and live far from Embraer’s plants.

“Embraer disrespects workers and the Union, by announcing the return to in-person work unilaterally and inflexibly.

We demand that, at a minimum, the company maintain the hybrid work model and engage in negotiations with the unions.

For this reason, we call on all administrative workers to attend the assembly this Thursday,” said the director of the Metalworkers’ Union, Herbert Claros.

The administrative and engineering teams at Embraer have been working from home since March 11, 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic was declared.

Embraer Workers Reject End of Home Office and Demand Negotiation

Administrative workers at Embraer rejected the end of the home office, announced by the company.

Furthermore, they demanded that there be negotiations on the issue with the unions that represent them.
The vote took place in an assembly organized by the Metalworkers’ Union of São José dos Campos and Region.

At the event this Thursday, employees from administrative and engineering roles also requested that any changes proposed by Embraer be implemented only in 2026.

“The end of home office represents many losses for workers and their families. Numerous people were hired under home office arrangements and live far from Embraer’s plants,” said the director of the Metalworkers’ Union, Herbert Claros.

According to him, the company made the announcement arbitrarily, without negotiation, and did not provide support to the employees. “For this reason, our Union is organizing this fight and inviting other unions to mobilize,” the director stated.

On the 27th, Embraer released its 2024 results. The company achieved the highest revenue in its history: R$ 35.4 billion.

This amount represents a 36% increase compared to 2023 (R$ 26.1 billion). A total of 206 aircraft were delivered, 14% more than the previous year (181).

“In recent years, Embraer has generated profits. Home office was one of the contributors to this positive result for the company. Therefore, nothing justifies this abrupt change,” concluded Herbert.

What Embraer Says

In a note sent to the CPG portal, Embraer claims to believe that the initiative to return to an in-person model contributes to “strengthening the bond between teams through shared experiences, collaboration on projects.”

“Considering the company’s growth period, Embraer has decided to return to more days per week of in-person work, while maintaining flexibility for one day per week of remote work. To give employees time to adapt and to adjust the infrastructure of the units for greater flow of people, the change will only occur at the beginning of August in Brazil,” the company stated.

What Embraer Says

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.
