São Paulo traffic company workers cancel planned strike after accepting offer
CET workers in São Paulo cancelled a planned strike after accepting a settlement offer at a meeting on Thursday.
The offer was put forward by the regional labor court and the Labor Prosecutor’s Office.
It provides a 4.11% increase in salaries and economic benefits and preserves rights the workers said were at risk.
The workers had planned to strike over a June company proposal to change their collective agreement and reduce some benefits.
That proposal included lowering the vacation bonus and changing terms on working conditions, compensation, dental coverage and days off.
The accepted offer now goes to CET management to formalize the collective agreement for the 2026 salary campaign.
CET workers in São Paulo canceled a planned strike after approving a conciliatory offer from a labor court and the Public Labor Ministry.
The workers approved the offer at an assembly on Thursday night, November 5, at São Paulo City Council.
The offer provides a 4.11% increase in salaries and economic benefits, according to the workers’ union.
The union said the offer also preserves rights it said were threatened by CET’s original proposal.
The agreement is expected to go to CET management for formalization.
