Decision of the Court of Avaré (SP) expands the right to oppose union contributions for physical education professionals in the interior of SP Google Maps The Labor Court granted an injunction that guarantees physical education professionals the right to oppose the discounting of union contributions by electronic means. The decision was handed down by the Labor Court of Avaré (SP) and published this Tuesday (16). The public civil action, filed by the Public Ministry of Labor (MPT) against the Union of Physical Education Professionals of São Paulo and Region (Sinpefesp) and the Interstate Federation of Physical Education Professionals (Fepepi), began following complaints from Avaré workers who claimed to have had their letters of opposition rejected by the unions. 📲 Join the g1 Itapetininga e Região channel on WhatsApp Now on g1 The professionals reported that the union demanded compliance with excessively bureaucratic rules, such as delivering the document in person or sending it by registered letter within a short deadline, without allowing the use of e-mail or other electronic means. During the investigation, the union and the federation admitted that they had refused requests for opposition because they believed that the workers had not followed the procedures set out in the category's collective agreement. The entities also refused to sign a Conduct Adjustment Term (TAC) proposed by the MPT.

The judge pointed out that the collection of assistance contributions from unaffiliated workers is only valid when there is a "real, effective, accessible and devoid of bureaucratic obstacles" right to object. With the injunction, the union and the federation must accept expressions of opposition sent by individual email with certified signature or through the gov.br account. Entities also remain obliged to receive requests in person or by registered mail. The decision also establishes a minimum period of ten working days for workers to present opposition after the publication of the normative instrument. The measure covers physical education professionals from Avaré, Águas de Santa Bárbara, Arandu, Cerqueira César, Iaras, Itaí, Manduri, Óleo and Paranapanema. In case of non-compliance, a daily fine of R$500 was imposed per obligation violated. If there is a definitive conviction at the end of the process, the entities may be forced to pay compensation for collective moral damages of at least R$200,000.
