Workers fear that Eletrobras will lay off more people without having to launch another point of sale. But a source at the company said, on condition of anonymity, that more mass layoffs were unlikely.
Health plans are also at risk. According to the document, Eletrobras wants to adapt the employee plan to a single operator, perhaps Bradesco Saúde or Unimed, according to the same source. Today, the holding company's subsidiaries have self-management plans. Furnas has Real Grandeza Saúde. Elytropras, Elytrus saudi; Shesef; Vachev Saadi; Eletronorti, E-Veda; It offers Eletrosul Elos Saúde.
The debate between Eltrubras and the workers in Brasilia may end. If they do not reach an agreement, the Supreme Labor Court (TST) will mediate the situation. Depending on the source you listened to UOLIt is possible that this category will go on strike. “We have two more rounds of negotiations in the coming weeks, but the company will not give up on salary cuts,” he says.
Eletrobras has already laid off 4,000 employees
In October 2022, the company announced the point of sale. Since June 2023, about 4,000 jobs have been cut out of more than 12,000, a third of the workforce. The final closures will take place on April 30.
Eletrobras' cost-cutting campaign is likely to increase friction with the federal government. At the beginning of this month, the Minister of Labor, Luiz Marinho, received representatives of the National Union of Urban Workers (CNU) to discuss, for example, difficulties related to the collective agreement with the new management of Eltrubras. “We will invite the company to the conciliation table,” Marineau said at the time.
