According to the Minister of Communications, Frederico de Siqueira Filho, no benefits will anymore be paid to postal workers. He believed that there was no possibility of not paying the 13th salary and that the entire government was committed to resolving the situation.
“Yes, we will pay all the obligations of the workers,” he said this Saturday (13/12) during the “Governo do Brasil na Rua” event, which took place in Sol Nascente, in the Federal District.

Correios: Haddad reinforces the possibility of contributing up to 6 billion reais
Frederico considered that, according to the agreement with the unions, all obligations will be fulfilled by the public company.
Last Thursday (11/12), Correios management participated in a hearing with worker representatives before the Superior Labor Court (TST). At the time, he was informed that, given the financial situation of the company, the available resources would not be sufficient to guarantee the payment of the 13th salary of employees.
According to the Interstate Federation of Workers’ Unions of the Brazilian Post and Telegraph Company (Findect), Correios’ official proposal involved maintaining the collective agreement until February 2026 without paying the so-called “additional ticket”, without replacing inflation and without providing for salary adjustment, a package that the entity considered “frustrating” and incompatible with the losses accumulated by the category in recent years.
In a statement, Correios said the process of negotiating the company’s restructuring plan, as well as the collective labor agreement, was underway. “At the moment there is no suspension of any work obligation. Correios continues to treat this matter with institutional responsibility,” the statement said.
