Online shift work system to be implemented at Port of Santos

Starting in July, the 6,000 outsourced port workers registered with the Worker Management Organ ( Ogmo ) at the Port of Santos, will be able to apply for shift work via cell phone, tablet or computer. The system, dubbed Digital Shift Work, was presented to trade unionists on Tuesday (06/18). This Wednesday (19/06), professionals can already look up information about shift work online.

The executive director of Ogmo, Evandro Schmidt Pause, guarantees that they will continue to attend to workers who prefer to be physically present as well as those who consult jobs online. “We will expand the alternatives. The conditions to compete for vacancies will be the same as face-to-face because the system will be synchronized and guarantee equal opportunities,” he said.

The director explains that the measure has been debated for years. According to him, in all talks with union leaders and workers, the return was positive. Examples of success in adpoting this system at other ports were also taken into account. “In Paranaguá [PR] for example, in two years the system has had an adhesion rate of 85%,” he said.

Training and deployment

Schmidt says training will be held in the last week of June, between Monday and Friday. “We will even do simulations of the shifts for the workers to adapt.” The Digital Shift Work system will begin on July 1st. Each week, the program will be deployed in a union. Since there are eight entities, the process is expected to be completed in two months. “The system preserves the existing methodology,” explained Evandro Schmidt Pause.
