Norte Tech electricians strike in Manaus amid regional hiring expansion
Electricians from Norte Tech Serviços em Energia, a service provider for Âmbar Energia, have initiated a strike in Manaus, Amazonas. The workers are demanding several improvements to their compensation and benefits package.
Key demands include raising the base salary to R$ 2,500, increasing the food or meal allowance to R$ 1,200, and providing full coverage for family health insurance. Additionally, workers are seeking an increase in the driver's allowance from R$ 100 to R$ 500 per month, full fuel assistance for those using personal vehicles, and a monthly childcare allowance of R$ 300 per child.
Despite the labor unrest, Norte Tech is simultaneously expanding its operations in the region. The company is offering over 450 job vacancies for electricians and operational support staff across Manaus and various municipalities in the Amazonas interior. This recruitment follows a 30% increase in the company's workforce since Âmbar Energia began its operations in the state.
