Strike is a reflection of workers' dissatisfaction

In an interview with Rede Nova Onda last Wednesday (15), the executive director of Sindimetal-ES, Roberto Pereira de Souza, spoke about the blockades carried out last Wednesday.
“It is a movement made by the direct employees of the Jurong shipyard, who can no longer tolerate this Singapore policy, which they are trying to force down the throats of the workers. They can't take so many low wages anymore. They decided to cross their arms and closed two parts of the ES-010 Highway, ”he said.
The director of Sindimetal also highlighted that the high adherence to the strike movement is a reflection of the workers' dissatisfaction.
Outsourced workers are prevented from working
“Employees of contractors were also paralyzed and are going through a complicated situation. They leave the house very early, at 4 am, at Jurong's own request, so they can do the job that would be her direct employee, who are on strike, "she added.
“They are angry. More than 90% of the direct workers of the EJA are stopped, which is a novelty for large companies. It is a demonstration of the high level of dissatisfaction of the shipyard's employees”, he stressed.
According to unofficial information, the company should ask for collective bargaining. Collective bargaining agreements are actions filed in the Labor Court to resolve conflicts between the collective parties that make up an employment relationship.
