Union-Embraer agreement fails
Embraer/SMSJC conciliation hearing ends without agreement
The conciliation hearing between Embraer S.A. and the São José dos Campos Metalworkers Union (SMSJC) in the Labor Court ended without agreement. The Regional Labor Court of the XV Region (TRT-15) reported that the meeting, which was held over the Internet on Tuesday, September 8, 2020 in the morning, did not have an agreement between the parties. The company announced 900 cuts, which will add to the 1,600 layoffs of employees. The union had a proposal to reverse the layoffs.
The hearing was scheduled after a request from Embraer, which is in the process of laying off 2,500 employees, 900 were laid off on Thursday 03/09 and 1,600 joined the Voluntary Dismissal Plan (PDV). The hearing covers the 900 layoffs from last week.
Embraer reported that at the hearing it presented a proposal to extend health care and food subsidy benefits to laid off employees. The São José dos Campos Metalworkers Union remained intransigent, rejected the proposal and was not even willing to accept it for the appreciation of the metallurgists through the assembly. The aircraft manufacturer also said it remains open to negotiation, as it has always done since the beginning of the process.
The São José dos Campos Metalworkers Union (SMSJC) has reported that the aeronautical company refused to comply with the proposal to reverse the dismissals of last week and also those who joined the PDV. SMSJC said it even proposed a salary cap as a way to redistribute income to maintain jobs and that the proposal was rejected.

Pandemic and failure of the association
To justify the layoffs, Embraer alleges the impact caused by the coronavirus pandemic and the cancellation of the partnership with Boeing, in addition to the lack of expectations of recovery in the air transport sector in the short and medium term. According to the company, the cuts were made with the “objective of ensuring the sustainability of the company and its engineering capabilities”. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Embraer has adopted a series of measures such as collective vacations, reduction of working hours, dismissal (temporary suspension of contracts) and paid leave.

According to the union, 15 workers were ordered to go to the MPT, which received three complaints in late August. Embraer highlighted that the POS was a voluntary process and was communicated with transparency to people, following the code of ethics and conduct. According to the company, the employees were informed by official channels about the program.
Billions of losses

In the first semester, the accumulated net loss of the Brazilian company was R$ 2,950 million, while in the first semester of 2019 the company presented a loss of R$ 134 million. The company states that there was no cancellation in the commercial portfolio, only changes in the delivery period.
JV Boeing-Embraer cancellation
In late April 2020, Boeing announced the termination of the Joint Venture agreement that would give the US giant control over Embraer’s commercial aviation division amid crises in the aviation sector and the global economy, leaving Embraer without a defined alternative plan.
Embraer reported in the balance sheet that the costs of business separation related to the strategic alliance with Boeing, now closed, recognized in January 2020, were R$ 96.8 million.

Empleados de Latam Brasil continúan protesta por 2.700 despidos
El 6 Septiembre 2020 unos 50 pilotos y auxiliares de vuelo realizaron una protesta en el Aeropuerto de Sao Paulo/Guarulhos contra la postura adoptada por la compañía Latam Airlines Brasil en medio de la crisis pandémica del Covid-19. Los profesionales se reunieron reclamando a la empresa que lanzara un programa de licencia no remunerada, después que la compañía comenzara a despedir 2.700 empleados
Tras acogerse al Capítulo 11 de la Ley de Quiebras en Estados Unidos, Latam Airlines Group propuso a los profesionales una reducción permanente de sueldos, oferta que fue rechazada por casi el 90% de la tripulación. Los competidores Gol Linhas Aéreas y Azul Linhas Aéreas lograron cerrar acuerdos con el Sindicato Nacional de Aeronautas (SNA) para realizar un recorte temporal en horas y remuneración durante los próximos 18 meses, modelo también defendido por la tripulación de Latam Brasil.
Negociaciones Sindicatos-Latam
Tras fracasar en las negociaciones, Latam Group había anunciado el despido de pilotos, copilotos y auxiliares de vuelo, totalizando 2.700 empleados. Los despidos, que representan el 38% de los 7.000 tripulantes de la empresa, comenzaron a través de un proceso de despido voluntario que finalizó el Martes 08/09. En total, 345 empleados se unieron al programa. Los despidos se harán a partir del 09/09 y se prolongarán hasta el próximo Viernes 11/09. Latam afirma que paga salarios más altos que sus competidores en Brasil y que necesita igualar a las empresas del sector. Según la empresa, los cambios en su política de remuneraciones ya habían sido objeto de negociaciones con el sindicato incluso antes de la pandemia, pero con la crisis, el cambio tomó prioridad.
La aerolínea ha comunicado que el 97% de los tripulantes que serán desconectados ya no se encuentran en las escalas de vuelo y que su operación no tendrá impacto con la reducción de la plantilla. También dijo que “siempre ha estado abierta al diálogo con el objetivo de preservar el mayor número de puestos de trabajo y mantener su sostenibilidad a largo plazo”.
Ops internacionales
Latam Airlines Group está definiendo la reanudación de parte de sus operaciones internacionales en Brasil y sus filiales en Sudamérica para el año 2021. Latam Airlines Brasil restablecerá la malla aérea entre São Paulo/GRU hacia otros destinos a los que servía en la pre-pandemia en América, Europa, África y Oceanía.
Las fechas de reanudación se basan en la decisión de Latam Group de mantener cerradas las reservas hasta cierto tiempo. Este es el caso de la ruta São Paulo-Mendoza, por ejemplo, que no debería ser operada este año porque actualmente sus reservas están cerradas hasta el 31/12. Los vuelos con reservaciones cerradas hasta el 27 de Marzo de 2021 incluyen salidas desde Lima a Brasilia y Foz do Iguaçu, así como desde São Paulo/GRU a Bogotá, Córdoba, Milán/Malpensa, París/CDG y Punta del Este. También hay operaciones que actualmente están cerradas sobre reservas hasta Junio 2021. Son vuelos desde São Paulo/GRU a Barcelona poseen reservas cerradas hasta el 29 de Junio de 2021 y Johannesburgo con reservas cerradas hasta el 30 de Junio de 2021. A partir de Agosto 2021, es el turno de los vuelos entre São Paulo/GRU y Santa Cruz de La Sierra, en Bolivia, para volver al sistema de reservas de Latam Group.
Protest in Latam Brazil for 2,700 layoffs
Latam Brazil employees continue to protest 2,700 layoffs
On September 6, 2020, about 50 pilots and flight attendants held a protest at the Sao Paulo/Guarulhos Airport against the position adopted by the Latam Airlines Brasil company in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. Professionals gathered demanding that the company launch an unpaid leave program after the company began laying off 2,700 employees
After filing for Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Law in the United States, Latam Airlines Group proposed to professionals a permanent reduction in salaries, an offer that was rejected by almost 90% of the crew. Competitors Gol Linhas Aéreas and Azul Linhas Aéreas managed to close agreements with the National Aeronauts Union (SNA) to make a temporary cut in hours and remuneration during the next 18 months, a model also defended by the Latam Brazil crew.
Trade Union-Latam Negotiations
After failing negotiations, Latam Group had announced the dismissal of pilots, co-pilots and flight attendants, totaling 2,700 employees. The layoffs, which represent 38% of the 7,000 crew members of the company, began through a voluntary dismissal process that ended on Tuesday 08/09. In total, 345 employees joined the program. The dismissals will be made from 09/09 and will last until next Friday 09/11. Latam claims that it pays higher wages than its competitors in Brazil and that it needs to match companies in the sector. According to the company, changes in its remuneration policy had already been the subject of negotiations with the union even before the pandemic, but with the crisis, the change took priority.
The airline has communicated that 97% of the crew that will be disconnected are no longer on flight stopovers and that their operation will have no impact with the reduction of the workforce. He also said that “it has always been open to dialogue with the aim of preserving the greatest number of jobs and maintaining its long-term sustainability”.
International ops
Latam Airlines Group is defining the resumption of part of its international operations in Brazil and its subsidiaries in South America for the year 2021. Latam Airlines Brazil will reestablish the air network between São Paulo/GRU to other destinations it served in the pre-pandemic in America, Europe, Africa and Oceania.
The resumption dates are based on Latam Group’s decision to keep the reserves closed until a certain time. This is the case of the São Paulo-Mendoza route, for example, which should not be operated this year because its reserves are currently closed until 12/31. Flights with closed reservations until March 27, 2021 include departures from Lima to Brasilia and Foz do Iguaçu, as well as from São Paulo/GRU to Bogotá, Córdoba, Milan/Malpensa, Paris/CDG and Punta del Este.

No total, 345 colaboradores aderiram ao programa. As dispensas serão feitas a partir de 09/09 e vão até a próxima sexta-feira 09/11. A Latam afirma que paga salários mais altos do que seus concorrentes no Brasil e que precisa se equiparar às empresas do setor. Segundo a empresa, mudanças em sua política de remuneração já haviam sido objeto de negociações com o sindicato antes mesmo da pandemia, mas com a crise a mudança passou a ter prioridade.
A companhia aérea comunicou que 97% dos tripulantes que serão desligados já não fazem escala em voos e que a sua operação não terá impacto com a redução do quadro de funcionários. Disse ainda que “sempre esteve aberta ao diálogo com o objetivo de preservar o maior número de empregos e manter a sua sustentabilidade a longo prazo”.
Operações internacionais
Latam Airlines Group está definindo a retomada de parte de suas operações internacionais no Brasil e suas subsidiárias na América do Sul para o ano de 2021. Latam Airlines Brasil irá restabelecer a malha aérea entre São Paulo/GRU para outros destinos que serviu na pré-pandemia em América, Europa, África e Oceania.
As datas de retomada são baseadas na decisão do Grupo Latam de manter as reservas fechadas até um determinado momento. É o caso da rota São Paulo-Mendoza, por exemplo, que não deve ser operada neste ano porque suas reservas estão fechadas até 31/12. Os vôos com reservas fechadas até 27 de Março de 2021 incluem saídas de Lima para Brasília e Foz do Iguaçu, bem como de São Paulo/GRU para Bogotá, Córdoba, Milão/Malpensa, Paris/CDG e Punta del Este. Existem também operações que atualmente estão fechadas com reservas até Junho de 2021. São vôos de São Paulo/GRU para Barcelona com reservas fechadas até 29 de Junho de 2021 e Joanesburgo com reservas fechadas até 30 de Junho de 2021. A partir de Agosto de 2021 É a vez dos vôos entre São Paulo/GRU e Santa Cruz de La Sierra, na Bolívia, voltarem ao sistema de reservas do Latam Group.
