Faced with the whirlwind of information and events, the president of the Union of Commerce Workers in the city of São Paulo, Ricardo Patah, informs that a protocol was entered requesting a meeting with the representatives of the American.
This meeting seeks to find out what the company's next actions will be, given that debt is quite high, and also to find out if there is any risk for employees. Despite this, Patah said that Americanas has always had a very healthy and friendly relationship with the members and category representatives, and there were never any complaints for non-compliance with collective agreements or lack of payment, for example.
In an interview given to UOL, Patah claimed that the meeting aims to put an end to the rumors that are circulating, as well as to know what is the official position of Americanas in relation to this. The union president said, "We are scared that the Americanas, who have always done their duty, have a hole this size."
It should be noted that, if the Americans close down activities in Brazil, the law primarily protects employees, as they will receive outstanding amounts before anyone on the list, such as suppliers and the like. It remains to inform that Americanas has not yet commented on the number of employees, nor on what is the risk of a mass dismissal being carried out.
