Companies that send invoices by postal mail are not required to deduct interest and penalties for late payment of invoices. This is the warning that institutions that work with the consumer as to give the Post Office strike, which began today for an indefinite period.

Still, the strike does not relieve companies of responsibility with consumers.

The bodies of consumer protection claim that it is the obligation of companies to offer another form of payment that is affordable to the consumer (Internet, fax, registered office, bank deposit and others), and also to disseminate the available alternatives.

The foundation advises consumers who know the due date of your accounts to contact the company to request another option to make payment before maturity in order to avoid charging any fees and cancellations.

The authorities say also that consumers have a right to demand compensation for any losses in delivery service contract in the mail - as Sedex - in case of delay in the receipt. The complaint must be made in any court of consumer protection, including being able to require, in Special Court, indemnification, compensation for moral injury or financial.

The recommendation for those who need to send orders and correspondence with urgency during the stoppage of Postal services look for alternative or private courier.

Greve

The postal workers went on strike indefinitely last month after state assemblies across the country have approved the strike. The company has 116 thousand employees in the country and 35 thousand in the State of Sao Paulo.

Yesterday, the servers and the state failed to agree about the staff salary. Workers ask real increase (above inflation) in proportion to wages and a linear adjustment of R$ 300. The last proposal of Postal workers was an increase of 4.5%, corresponding to the INPC (National Index of Consumer Prices) accumulated in the last 12 months to date base, which was held on May 1. The server said no.

According to FENTECT (National Federation of Postal Workers), 33 of the 35 unions have joined the movement.

Although no official proposal submitted within the period required by the servers, the Post said they were a willingness to negotiate. According to a spokesperson for the state, a new meeting between the company and the union is expected later today.
