Overview
- The 10th Labor Court of Recife issued a November 7 preliminary injunction ordering Posto Power to halt the dress code, with a R$500 daily fine per affected worker for any noncompliance.
- The ruling cites unnecessary exposure of workers' bodies, risks of harassment, and violation of dignity, and it directs the station to provide appropriate uniforms suited to the job and work environment.
- The complaint reached the union through a former attendant who reported pressure to fit an aesthetic standard and has sought indirect termination, with her case and related actions still in progress.
- A safety specialist warned that leggings and cropped tops heighten chemical and fire hazards at fuel stations and may breach NRs 1, 6, 17, and 20, aligning with the labor prosecutor's view that employers must ensure a safe, dignified workplace.
- Posto Power and distributor Petrobahia contend the images are from prior management and say uniforms have been revised, as the union reports similar complaints at other local stations and steps up oversight.
