Toyota, The World’s Largest Automobile Manufacturer, Closes Factory in SP Responsible for Corolla Sedan Production: Multinational Offers 45 Salaries, Plus Two Extra Salaries for Each Year Worked and Amazing Benefits for Laid-off Employees
On Thursday (23), the Metalworkers Union of Campinas and Region announced an agreement with Toyota regarding the Voluntary Dismissal Program for workers at the Indaiatuba factory. The accepted proposal guarantees employees who join the plan 45 salaries and two extra salaries for each year worked.
The agreement will keep jobs for another 24 months at the Indaiatuba (SP) factory, currently responsible for producing the Corolla sedan. According to the union, this is the largest wage and benefits agreement ever negotiated by a union with an automaker in Brazil.
In Addition to Salaries, Agreement Between Toyota and the Union Offers Family Health Insurance and the Voucher Card for 36 Months
The agreement stipulates that employees who will be laid off from the Toyota factory responsible for producing the Corolla sedan will receive 45 salaries, plus two salaries for each year worked. Initially, the manufacturer’s offer was 30 salaries plus one for each year worked. Additionally, family health insurance and the voucher card for 36 months were agreed upon, with the latter to be credited in a single payment after the layoff date.

For employees who accept Toyota’s plans and move to Sorocaba, stability has been established until July 2029. Those who choose to move but decide to maintain residence in Indaiatuba will receive two salaries plus R$ 15,000, while those who transfer their address to the new city will be entitled to 2.4 extra salaries.
Employees Will Be Entitled to R$ 21,000 in Profit Sharing and Guaranteed Stability Until 2026
It has also been agreed that employees will be entitled to R$ 21,000 in profit sharing (PLR) for 2024, with the first installment of R$ 13,000 paid on 07/06/24, and the second installment of R$ 8,000 on 05/01/2025. Workers will also be entitled to Toyota Previ, limited to R$ 50,000.
There will also be a withdrawal clause, allowing employees transferred to Sorocaba up to 7 months to change their decision. If they regret it, they can request their dismissal, receiving all agreed rights, with discounts on the amounts received during the transfer.
Indaiatuba employees will have guaranteed stability until July 2026, with exit windows agreed upon for September/24, March/25, September/25, March/26, and July/26. Those transferring to Sorocaba will have guaranteed employment until July 2029.
Closure of the Factory Is Part of a Cycle of Billion-Dollar Investments for Manufacturing New Technologies and Launching Cars, Such as the New SUV Yaris Cross
In March, Toyota announced an investment of R$ 11 billion in the Sorocaba (SP) factory for the production of new products with hybrid technology, resulting in the closure of the Indaiatuba plant. The expectation is that more than 2,000 new jobs will be created at the expanded Sorocaba factory.
Of the R$ 11 billion, the Japanese company is investing R$ 1.7 billion for the local production of the Yaris Cross SUV, aiming to be the cheapest hybrid in Brazil; the Toyota Yaris Cross just needs to have an initial price lower than the R$ 187,790 currently charged for the Corolla Altis Hybrid SUV.
São apenas negócios, os trabalhadores sempre souberam que eram apenas números, oque impediria ela de demitir de forma cadenciada todos os trabalhadores, Sem que tenha que pagar esses benefícios todos?
Empresa se mostrou muito responsável e sindicato foi muito eficiente nas negociações!
**** e pilantras. Eles enganaram os funcionários de São Bernardo do Campo. Deram um pdv muito abaixo pros funcionários de São Bernardo. Uma planta de mais de 60 anos de história foi jogada no lixo pelos japoneses.
