Celso Rosas was speaking during the IV Porto Staff Meeting, which is analyzing issues relating to the organization and operation of the company, which brings together specialists from different areas.
For the PCA, holding the meeting is a happy coincidence because, among the topics discussed, is the contours of the New General Labor Law, which comes into force this Tuesday (26).
On this topic, Norberto Capessa, Judge Counselor of the Supreme Court, stated that it brings the “great advantage” of the employment contract being for an indefinite period.
“This is a law that determines the development of a society”, he considered.
Norberto Capessa also explained that in the previous law, in which the contract was determined, the worker was never integrated into the company’s permanent staff.
“It was an employer’s management tool, because it aimed to meet the transitory or temporary needs of their company”, he clarified.
Other topics were also addressed at the IV Staff Meeting, such as Ethics, a principle that is not exhausted, by speaker Carlos Pacatolo, and The challenges of Porto do Lobito in the current context, in charge of the executive administrator for the commercial area of that company port worker, Janet Matana.
