ADI 6309 | Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade! APOSENTADORIA ESPECIAL | DIREITO PREVIDENCIÁRIO

Summary

This video discusses the ongoing debate regarding the changes to special retirement benefits following the 2019 pension reform in Brazil. The Confederação Nacional da Indústria (CNI) filed a direct action of unconstitutionality (ADI 6309) to challenge three main points: the minimum age requirement for special retirement, the detrimental calculation method that reduces benefits, and the prohibition on converting special time into common time. The video explains how these changes unfairly impact workers exposed to risks, such as electricians and mechanics, and advocates for a more just and protective pension system. The case is currently under deliberation by the Brazilian Supreme Court.

Takeaways

• 😀 The 2019 pension reform in Brazil changed the rules for special retirement, particularly for workers exposed to hazardous conditions.
• 😀 Before the reform, workers with 25 years of hazardous work could retire without an age minimum and receive a higher pension based on 100% of their contributions.
• 😀 After the reform, new age requirements were introduced, and the pension calculation became less favorable, reducing benefits for these workers.
• 😀 The National Confederation of Industry (CNI) filed a lawsuit (ADI 6309) arguing that certain provisions of the reform are unconstitutional.
• 😀 The CNI argues that requiring a minimum age for workers with hazardous occupations is unconstitutional, especially for those who started working early in life.
• 😀 The CNI also challenges the reduced pension calculation formula, claiming it is unfair and detrimental to workers' financial security.
• 😀 Another key point of the legal challenge is the prohibition on converting special work time into regular time, which was allowed before the reform.
• 😀 Many workers are facing retirement delays due to the new regulations, such as having insufficient time for special retirement just due to missing a few months.
• 😀 The Supreme Court is currently deliberating on the case, with two votes in favor of the challenge and two against.
• 😀 A final decision on the matter is expected between May 3-10, 2024, with potential impacts on workers in hazardous professions, such as electricians, mechanics, and healthcare workers.
• 😀 The speaker encourages workers to stay informed and share the information to raise awareness about the ongoing legal proceedings and their potential effects.
