After the collective bargaining agreement was signed - in which workers' resistance prevented the removal of historical clauses - the company director, as a way of retaliating against workers who had demonstrated in meetings or at the factory gate during the negotiations, harasses them, and fires them.
Thus, even with a reduced number of operators coerced by management to, work up to 16 hours (confirmed by assessments of the supervisor's work SRTE-PR), Vale Fertilizers, in an attack on union representation, fired 4 workers, 1 on medical leave, 1 health and safety committee member indicated by the company and others with 25 years of experience. Since the beginning of negotiations (nov/2011), 12 have been fired, 6 have received warnings and 16 have been harassed. Of these, 5 have already been dismissed. It’s the largest number of layoffs since the company was privatized in 1993.
The humiliation and torture at the time of dismissal were such that in one case it even caused an accident with the employee to be fired, - and he had medical restrictions. This employee, after treatment at the hospital and with medical certification, was forced to return to the factory by officials who accompanied him and was only released after signing his letter of resignation.
The union rejects what is happening and asks all unions and NGOs to denounce what is happening at the Vale unit in Araucaria Parana, with a copy to the chair of Vale Fertilizers:
