Engie Brasil Energia Approved, on June 11, Its Voluntary Dismissal Program for Employees at Headquarters and Thermoelectric Plants in Operation

On Friday, June 11, Engie Brasil Energia approved a Voluntary Dismissal Program (VDP) for employees at headquarters, thermoelectric plants, and other operational assets of the company. The plan was discussed in a meeting that also included the presence of the company’s workers. See also: Engie Resumes Sale of the Pampa Sul Thermoelectric Plant in Rio Grande do Sul

Adoption of Engie’s Voluntary Dismissal Program

In a statement issued to the market, Engie emphasized that the voluntary dismissal program will provide a “succession planning and career transition harmoniously for those interested in joining the program.” Not only the Jorge Lacerda Thermoelectric Plant is expected to be affected, but also the other plants managed by the company.

Engie Brasil Energia further denies that the approved voluntary dismissal plan is related to the decarbonization process aimed by the company in Brazil, which involves, among other actions, the sale or deactivation of the Capivari de Baixo plant. The company also states that workers believe that this action supports the company’s distancing from the management of the thermoelectric plant.

The Dismissal Program and Its Relationship with the Company’s Workers

Luiz Antônio Barbosa, the coordinator of the Union of Electric Power Workers of Southern Santa Catarina (Sintresc), says that Engie’s voluntary dismissal plan facilitates both issues: the sale (decrease in payroll) and the discontinuation and dismantling of the plants.

Only at the Jorge Lacerda thermoelectric plant, which was being negotiated between Engie and FRAM, approximately 320 workers are expected to be eligible for the dismissal plan. About 60, in fact, participated in the meeting held last Friday. According to Luiz Antônio, the next step concerns signing the agreement, followed by the opening of the adhesion process. Only after these two steps will it be announced how many employees will join the plan.

The coordinator of the Union of Electric Power Workers of the South of Santa Catarina says they are still optimistic that the sale of the thermoelectric plants in the Jorge Lacerda complex will happen because it is clear that Engie will not retain the complex any longer.
