Motoristas de ônibus da capital paulista iniciaram uma paralisação na manhã desta segunda-feira (19), na zona sul da cidade, atingindo as linhas do Lote D10. Esses trabalhadores atuavam na antiga Transwolff. No entanto, desde a decretação da caducidade do contrato com a empresa em dezembro de 2025, a SPTrans administra e opera as linhas dos lotes D10 e D11. Os motoristas alegam a ocorrência de problemas trabalhistas e pedem a regularização dos recolhimentos do Fundo de Garantia do Tempo de Serviço (FGTS) e do Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social (INSS). Além disso, reivindicam melhoria nos benefícios. Por meio da Secretaria Municipal de Mobilidade Urbana e Transporte (SMT) e da SPTrans, a prefeitura de São Paulo informou que a paralisação afeta 267 mil passageiros do lote D10 e que o lote D11 está operando normalmente. A prefeitura alega que a paralisação é ilegal e que todos os direitos trabalhistas dos empregados estão sendo cumpridos e que pagamentos de salários e benefícios estão sendo feitos em dia. “Os depósitos referentes ao INSS e FGTS estão sendo feitos integralmente pela SPTrans, em juízo, aguardando deliberação do Judiciário”, informou a prefeitura, em nota. Segundo o município, o plano de saúde está em processo licitatório para contratar fornecedor, enquanto isso, os funcionários estão recebendo o valor de compensação previsto em acordo coletivo. “Todos os envolvidos que deixaram de trabalhar durante o ato terão o dia descontado de seus pagamentos”, afirmou a prefeitura.
