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.
