Negotiations with Eletrobras Fail and Eletrobras Workers Approve 72-Hour Strike in Assembly
The negotiations regarding the Collective Work Agreement (CWA) of 2019 between the Eletrobras workers and the company were unsuccessful.
In an assembly held last week, the workers decided on a 72-hour strike, which would start on June 3rd.
The Disagreements
Last Wednesday (05/22), a meeting was held where several points were not agreed upon between Eletrobras and the workers.
One of them was the company’s salary adjustment proposal, which was 1.5% while the workers demanded compensation for the period’s inflation, which was 4.5%.

While the world looks at forests, the UN warns that the Earth is also threatened by the silent degradation of natural grasslands and savannas, ecosystems that cover half of the planet, support billions of people, and can exacerbate water, food, and climate crises.
According to Emanuel Torres, director of the Eletrobras Employees Association (Aeel) and director of the National Collective of Electric Workers (CNE) in Rio de Janeiro, the company is taking a radical stance by offering a proposal that does not meet the workers’ demands.
The Director also clarified that Eletrobras proposed the removal of several clauses won in previous collective agreements.
One of the clauses exemplified by Torres was the one that prohibits Eletrobras from carrying out mass layoffs.
The Eletrobras workers do not accept any setbacks regarding their employment contracts, but the director stated that the unions will wait for Eletrobras’s position until the day set to start the strike, as the 2019 collective agreement had a 30-day extension.
