SINDESPI to sue for unpaid 1994 wages for Piauí health workers

The Union of Employees in Health Establishments of the State of Piauí (SINDESPI) has announced it will file individual lawsuits to recover unpaid wages dating back to 1994. These legal actions target civil servants who were not included in a previous collective lawsuit regarding unpaid salary funds from the administration of former governor Guilherme Melo.

According to SINDESPI President Geane Sousa, the original legal process began in 2000, with payments starting in 2023. The first batch of the process covered 2,035 union members who worked in the state's health sector and were owed half of their 13th-month salary and their full December 1994 wages.

To participate in the new individual actions, eligible employees must be registered members of the union and provide specific documentation, including identification, tax ID, and proof of residence.
