In her decision, announced yesterday (27), the judge ordered Petrobras to immediately suspend salary reductions and cuts in rights and benefits imposed by the company’s management on workers in Bahia who work in the administrative regime and those in the operational area who were transferred to administrative work due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision applies to all employees “even when active in administrative/remote work during the months of April, May, and June 2020, or any subsequent periods under the same conditions, according to the above reasoning.”
The judge also ordered that the deducted amounts be deposited in the salary advance sheet for June 2020, with full payment of salaries.
A daily “fine of 10,000 reais will also be imposed in the event of non-compliance with any determinations.”
According to union leaders, the current management of Petrobras insists on guiding its actions based on arbitrary, unilateral, and illegal decisions. But it will not find support from Sindipetros and the FUP.
With each illegal decision, the legal counsel of Sindipetro Bahia will file action to ensure that justice is served. This has been our procedure and will continue to be put into practice.
Only in May, Sindipetro, through its legal counsel, has already obtained three injunctions suspending the illegal and abusive measures by Petrobras’ management: suspension of the payment of AMS via bank slip, suspension of the salary and work hour reduction in the ADM, and the reinstatement of all additional payments for shift workers, guaranteed in the CLA.
