Proposal to End Job Security for Public Servants

Senator-elect Mauro Mendes (União Brasil-MT) proposed ending job security for public servants. He said officials who are not efficient should be dismissible and suggested applying the change to new hires if current employees could not be covered.

The presenters connected Mendes’s remarks to his earlier support for workdays of 12, 14, or even 16 hours, his opposition to ending the 6x1 work schedule, and his preference for paying workers according to hours agreed with employers—a system he associated with the United States.

One commentator criticized these positions as out of touch with workers’ lives, citing long commutes and already lengthy workdays. They warned that longer hours could leave workers with little time outside work and create conditions analogous to slavery.

Concerns About Performance Reviews

Another panelist discussed how administrative reform and annual performance reviews could be used to end job security. They warned that if politically appointed supervisors controlled the evaluations, the process could be used to dismiss public servants for political reasons, including retaliation against employees who opposed their superiors.
