• In a morning assembly on September 18 with roughly 3,000 participants, the union voted to suspend the strike after approving the package.
• The approved terms include a 9% salary adjustment, a R$1,000 shopping voucher (vale-compras) and the signing of a collective agreement.
• Embraer stated that factories nationwide were operating normally and questioned the stoppage, while the union said production involving about 6,000 line workers was completely halted.
• Earlier offers cited by the company and FIESP included a 5.5% wage increase and selective food-allowance hikes, and the union opposed proposed reductions to long-term stability protections compared with the 2017 convention.
