The joint effort carried out by the Judiciary Center for Consensual Methods of Dispute Resolution of the Labor Forum of Rio Branco (Cejusc), last Friday (28).
However, it ratified more than R$ 1.8 million in agreements involving a single executed, the Cooperative of Self-Employed in General Services (Coopserge).
The mutirão was coordinated by the Substitute Labor Judge Augusto Nascimento Carigé, when he held 46 hearings. Thus, among which 33 resulted in an agreement, and another three withdrew.
Employment Relationship
The processes were being processed in the instruction agenda in the 1st and 2nd Labor Courts of Rio Branco with similar requests where the mutirão workers asked for the recognition of the employment relationship. For the payment of labor sums is the subsidiary responsibility of the public entity.
Coopserge provided outsourced cleaning and maintenance services to various public bodies and entities in the state of Acre. However, in 2013, the Public Ministry of Labor of the 14th Region (MPT) filed a public civil action (0010912-45.2013.5.14.0403).
Therefore, the cooperative was condemned in 2015 to refrain from providing cooperative labor for the provision of services related to the end activities or means of organs and entities public and private, to register the employment contracts of all affiliated workers. As well as to pay compensation for collective pain and suffering in the amount of R$ 100 thousand. After a series of appeals by Coopserge, the sentence became final.
Labor Complaints
Carigé explained that after that, the entity lost several contracts with public bodies and entities in 2019, failing to honor the payment of the salaries of the cooperative members, which generated a joint effort of hundreds of labor complaints.
“In these complaints, the cooperative insisted on contesting the existence of an employment relationship, which demanded lengthy and repetitive instruction in the various courts. As a result, and considering the final and unappealable decision of the public civil action, we proposed that the director of the cooperative acknowledge the bonds, as well as the amounts due in compliance with the court decision, which was accepted”, he revealed.
As a result, the magistrate ordered the joint effort to seek conciliation in the processes that were already on the agenda of the court for instruction. Without prejudice to the other processes of the cooperative that were already on the agenda of Cejusc and that were also the subject of agreements. “The mutirão was made possible thanks to the commitment of the civil servants and interns working at Cejusc in Acre”, highlighted the judge.
