About 3,500 Employees Still Haven’t Received Compensation Since the Closure of the Shipyard in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro

An Endless Drama, this is what can be called the current situation of the employees of the Mauá shipyard in Niterói in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro.
Hundreds of former employees of the Shipyard, who were dismissed more than four years ago, held a peaceful protest at the company’s entrance last Wednesday, August 9.

The protest organized by former employees aimed to draw attention to the non-payment of compensations since the Mauá Shipyard was closed in 2015 and has not paid what it owed to about 3,500 dismissed employees. The company is undergoing a judicial recovery process and has accumulated debts of R$ 1.5 billion.

The Owners

The Mauá Shipyard in Niterói was once one of the largest in the country and employed almost 10,000 people at the peak of Brazilian shipbuilding; the company belongs to the Sinergy group, which is also the owner of another company in judicial recovery, the airline Avianca, German Efromovich.

The shipyard is the oldest in the country, and its land was acquired by Baron de Mauá in 1846, and just before its closure, it delivered important works such as the P50, P54, and the gas platform Mexilhão.

A public hearing is scheduled for August 15 to discuss the resumption of works at the Mauá shipyard and the unpaid compensations to former employees.
