Deductions applied after a 17-day strike considered legal by the Justice put the São José City Hall at the center of questioning, after reports of salary cuts that affected more than a thousand employees, paychecks with extremely reduced amounts, and public demands for reimbursement made by councilors during sessions in the City Council

A public servant from the São José City Hall, in Greater Florianópolis, received only R$ 7.94 in salary after participating in the strike promoted by SINTRAM.

The case was reported by ND Mais, on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, and exposed deductions applied against municipal employees.

According to a complaint presented in the São José City Council, more than a thousand employees had salary cuts after the strike movement.

Salary deduction generates demand in the Council

The complaint revealed that municipal employees received very reduced amounts after the deductions made by the City Hall.

During the session, councilor Caê Martins questioned whether it would be possible to get through the month with only R$ 7.

Councilor André Guesser also stated that other workers received R$ 9, R$ 100, and R$ 200 in salary.

Reports indicate deductions above the days stopped

The case of the employee who received R$ 7.94 was not the only one reported to ND Mais.

A teacher stated that she missed six days, but had eight days deducted.

The retention, in this case, amounted to about R$ 1 thousand.

Strike by civil servants was deemed legal by the Court

The strike by public servants in São José was deemed legal by the Court, according to councilor Caê Martins.

The stoppage lasted 17 days and occurred amid tension, threats of salary deductions, and an order to return to work.

Among the issues were salary review, career equality, public competitions, and inflationary adjustment in the meal allowance.

City Hall confirms mayor’s determination

At the time, the São José City Hall informed ND Mais that it had adjusted the salaries of the servants starting in May.

According to the administration, the deduction of the days not worked was a determination by Mayor Orvino Coelho de Ávila.

The municipal management stated that the decision had been communicated since the first day of the stoppage.

Case exposes deadlock between management and servants

The episode exposed a deadlock between the municipal administration and servants who participated in a strike deemed legal.

The City Hall claims it deducted the days not worked.

Servants report cuts greater than the days stopped and demand a review of the amounts.

After all, how can a public servant organize the month when the paycheck arrives with less than R$ 10?
