According to Unions, the Revocation of the Collective Agreement Will Provide Means for Transpetro to Dismiss Its Mariners Without Just Cause. The Subsidiary Sent a Note to the CPG

Mariners employed by Transpetro claim that the subsidiary wants to alter mechanisms of a Collective Agreement (ACT) so that it is less bureaucratic to dismiss its employees. It is important to note that these mariners underwent a national selection process and are governed by the CLT, but the ACT would ensure their stability. With the risk of an imminent strike, the Superior Labor Court (TST) had to intervene in the negotiations.

The Collective Agreement currently encompasses two categories of Transpetro employees: The Land Crew and the Sea Crew. Part of the issue with these rules refers only to the mariners who work on board (sea crew), while the subsidiary’s employees who work on the land crew would not be affected by this measure.

Transpetro’s Note to Click Oil and Gas

In response to the request from the Superior Labor Court (TST), Transpetro extended the validity of the current Collective Labor Agreement (ACT) Sea for an additional 30 days (until 12/15/2020) so that the mediation process can be conducted by the TST along with the union entities. The extension was conditioned on the commitment that no strikes or shutdowns will be promoted while the process persists. At the same time, all employees’ rights will be maintained during this period.
