Toyota Announces Mass Vacation For 5,7 Thousand Employees In Brazil After Storm In Porto Feliz, Decision Includes Lay-Off And Guaranteed Salaries

The storm that damaged the Toyota plant in Porto Feliz (SP) led the company to take an emergency measure. According to the newspaper Folha de São Paulo, the automaker announced mass vacations for 5,7 thousand employees at its factories in Brazil, located in Sorocaba, Indaiatuba, and also in Porto Feliz itself.

Additionally, the plan includes the temporary suspension of contracts, known as lay-off, starting on October 21. This leave may last from 60 to 150 days.

Payment And Guaranteed Benefits

According to the proposal, all workers earning up to R$ 10 thousand will have 100% of their salary maintained during the period.

Direct Impact On Toyota Production

The decision affects the entire operation of Toyota in the country, as the Porto Feliz plant is responsible for producing the engines used in the vehicles assembled in Sorocaba and Indaiatuba.

The unions of the three plants are expected to review and vote on the proposal by next Monday, the 29th. Therefore, the agreement still depends on this approval to take effect.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

Cambodia has started digging a nearly 180-kilometer canal to connect the Mekong River directly to the sea and reduce its dependence on the ports of neighboring Vietnam.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

Free courses open 2,221 spots with classes in itinerant trailers from June 8 to 18 and training in gastronomy, technology, beauty, mechanics, pets, and elderly care in SP.

Hyundai sells an executive minivan that looks like a VIP room on wheels: Custin carries 7 people, uses a 1.5 turbo engine with 168 hp, 8-speed automatic transmission, and costs around R$ 157,000 in direct conversion in Vietnam.

China creates a capsule with artificial intelligence that scans the stomach in just 8 minutes and can reduce costs by up to R$ 1,400, paving the way for a new era of gastrointestinal diagnostics without tubes, sedation, and discomfort for patients.

R$ 5,000 scattered on the street, a lost wallet, and an honest decision: the case in Goiás that moved even those who only read the story

Brazil’s almost forgotten neighbor found oil at sea, attracted ExxonMobil and Chevron, became a billion-dollar bet in global energy, and now tries to answer if quick wealth also turns into real development.
