Worker Rights. (a) The Company agrees not to take any action, and to use all reasonable efforts to ensure that no action will be taken by any contractor (or any subcontractor) of the Company performing EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) services contracted for after the date of this Agreement, or providing O&M(operating and management) services contracted for after the date of this Agreement, for the Project (each, a “contractor” and, collectively, the “contractors”) to prevent employees of the Company or of any such contractor performing such services for the Project in Brazil from lawfully under the laws of Brazil exercising their right of association and their right to organize and bargain collectively. In connection with the Project, the Company agrees to observe, and to cause each contractor to observe, with respect to its respective employees, applicable laws relating to acceptable conditions of work with respect to minimum age, minimum wages, hours of work, and occupational health and safety. Furthermore, in connection with the Project, the Company agrees, and agrees to use all reasonable efforts to cause each contractor, not to use forced labor and not to take any action on the basis of the right of association or collective bargaining activities or membership that may result in the termination, suspension, demotion, or transfer of any employee by the Company or any contractor, or by any of their respective officers, agents or representatives. In addition, the Company agrees, and agrees to use all reasonable efforts to cause each contractor, not to employ persons under the age of 15 years in connection with the Project for general work, and not to employ employees under the age of 18 years for any hazardous activity in connection with the Project (pursuant to the International Labor Organization’s Convention 182). Furthermore, the Company agrees to, and to use all reasonable efforts to cause each such contractor to agree to, ensure that all employees have the right to remove themselves from hazardous situations without jeopardizing their continued employment. The Company further agrees to apply the preceding provisions, and to use all reasonable efforts, to cause each contractor to apply the preceding provisions, to all of its employees, including employees hired by the Company or the contractor on a contractual basis.
(b) In the event that non-compliance or potential non-compliance with the above requirements with respect to the employees of the Com...
Worker Rights a. The Right of Association The constitution states that citizens have the right to form and join unions and professional associations with certain restrictions. The Xxxxxx-era labor codes, which are still in effect, place limitations and conditions on these rights. Public sector workers who are not executives can legally form or join unions, but regulation classified most public sector workers as executives. Workers in state- owned enterprises can form or join unions. Unions in the public sector and state- owned enterprises are not independent; they are sponsored by the state. Private- sector employees who work at establishments employing more than 50 persons may form and join unions that have limited rights. Private-sector unions have the right to seek government arbitration for labor disputes, but not the right to strike. Labor Law 150 of 1987 is still in effect and states that trade union organizations should "play an effective role in the organization of labor relations, in the protection of workers' rights, and in the development of their personalities." However, it declares virtually all public sector workers to be government "executives," and therefore legally ineligible to form or to join unions. The rights of migrant workers are not covered under this law. The provision in effect eliminated unions and the right of association from the large public sector. Although the number of formal unions and associations remains undefined, workers in state-owned enterprises have generally been organized along sectoral lines stemming largely from state employment. The largest sectors with the most active unions or associations are oil/petrochemical, industrial and defense manufacturing, and education. In the private sector, the 1987 Trade Union Organization Law states that employees can form workers' committees, with limited rights of association, in private-sector work sites employing more than 50 workers. Originally, this was also intended to remove the right of association from a majority of private-sector workers because most private-sector businesses employ fewer than 50 workers. Decree 8750 of 2005, which cancelled unions' leadership boards, froze their assets, and formed an interministerial committee to administer unions' assets and assess their capacity to resume activity, also inhibited union activity. The legal and regulatory framework, combined with violence, insecurity, high unemployment, and lack of decent work standards provided for unacceptable ...
