Key details
The Chamber of Deputies' Commission of Constitution, Justice and Citizenship (CCJC) has unanimously approved the final report for Project of Law 3.102, a crucial piece of legislation for Brazilian science and technology sectors. This marks a significant achievement backed by Sindsprev/RJ, whose director Christiane Gerardo celebrated the victory as a milestone for the union’s commitment to the welfare of its members, especially those in the federal health sectors.
The report, authored by deputy Daiana Santos (PCdoB-RS) with support from deputy Nurse Rejane (PCdoB-RJ), aims to benefit all sectors of the Ministry of Health by ensuring legal clarity and support for ceded and retired individuals with parity. Sindsprev/RJ actively mobilized its resources, including weekly travels to Brasília and organizing caravans to lobby for prioritization of the PL. With the CCJC’s approval, the next step is to expedite its passage through the Senate. Christiane Gerardo is already in contact with Senator Hiran Gonçalves to push the bill forward before the upcoming Congressional recess starting December 23. However, passing before the recess remains uncertain as the bill still needs to be distributed to appropriate Senate committees.
This development highlights the coordinated political effort and union activism in advancing legislation that strengthens Brazil's scientific and health infrastructure, with a focus on worker rights and institutional clarity. Sindsprev/RJ’s leadership has demonstrated determined advocacy to ensure broad benefits across the Ministry of Health network.
