Embraer Strikes Deal on Furloughs, Job Protections
Three unions representing employees in the state of São Paulo approved a plan encompassing furloughs, reduced hours, and pay cuts but guaranteed jobs.

Embraer reached an agreement with three of its unions that covers furloughs, reduced hours, and salary cuts in the short-term but job protections in the long-term for its affected employees in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. Sindiaeroespacial, representing São Paulo aerospace workers, and the Union of Engineers in São Paulo approved the plan on April 10. Meanwhile, the Metalworkers Union from Botucatu, also in the state of São Paulo, approved the agreement earlier last week.
