Jarris deplores the service provided by the health plan contracted by Rio City Hall Rio de Janeiro

Rio Garis of the Municipal Urban Cleaning Company (Comlurb) deplored the cases of neglect and lack of support from the Klini Saúde Health Plan, a company contracted with the City of Rio to service the category. The dissatisfaction began over a year ago, when the health plan started serving the class. At the time, street cleaners staged a demonstration and blocked a central corridor on Avenida Brasil, demanding another health plan, as well as better working conditions and higher wages.

to dayDissatisfaction is widespread and includes, in addition to street sweepers, machine operators, public and administrative service assistants, food preparation agents and administrators, he said, the Associação Círculo Laranja, which was set up in 2014 with the aim of fighting for labor rights for street cleaners. company.

“The Klini health plan has not met the demand of the category, either for scheduling appointments or for very complex care. In 2022, we organized three rallies downtown to denounce the negligence of changing the health plan overnight, without any prior notice,” the association said. However, according to Circulo Laranja, the complaint has been formalized to the Rio Public Ministry (MPRJ), but so far there has been no opinion on the case.

Street sweeper Andre Luiz Balbino recorded a video on social media, last Wednesday (15), in which he vents the situation and denounces the lack of support from the health fund. According to him, for leading a demonstration last year, he was fired from Comlorp after 11 years at the company. “I got fired because of the Cleany Health Plan, after the demonstrations. This health plan is small and someone has to do something for us,” Andre asked. In a video excerpt, he cites the case of a co-worker who was given a dispensation by a physician who followed a return-to-duty plan, even though he was physically unable to do so.

The sweeper also criticized the approval of Privi Rio, in June this year, that determined the adoption of three health plans, which began to continue providing services under the municipal employee health plan (PSSM) for the next two years. years, from the first of August.

As published in the Official Gazette on June 28, three companies have been approved and qualified to join PSSM: Assem Saeed Group; Notre Dame Intermédica (both currently participating in the system) and Klini Planos de Saúde.

According to Previ-Rio, these health plans will provide, in the same way that PSSM already operates, group medical assistance plans to statutory civil servants of the City of Rio, employed or retired, their families and retirees, as well as to office holders in the Executive’s commissions, institutions and institutions; City Council and Court of Auditors.

For Andre, extending Klini Saúde’s contract is a mistake, because the company wouldn’t even have the structure to serve Comlurb workers. Other cleaners also showed their dissatisfaction with the company’s service: “This plan does not contain an emergency for pregnant women in Campo Grande,” one employee wrote on social networks.
