Wednesday, November 23, 2022

SÃO JOSÉ DOS CAMPOS, Brasil, Nov. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In defending the interest of the Brazilian State, two class entities filed a lawsuit against Boeing: the Brazilian Association of Defense and Security Material Industries (ABIMDE) and the Association of Aerospace Industries of Brazil (AIAB). They are the authors of a public civil action that aims to make the US company interrupt the systematic capture and hiring of engineers from companies that are part of the country's Industrial Defense Base (BID, in Portuguese). The co-option of these highly qualified professionals places the survival of these companies at risk and, above all, threatens national sovereignty, one of the foundations of the Federal Constitution, provided for in article 1, item I.

Key Points: 
  • "The impact is already significant: ten of the most important strategic companies in the defense sector have already had engineers co-opted by Boeing.
  • The issue is strategic for the country and national sovereignty, representing the State's autonomy over its political, social, military, and economic organization.
  • They guarantee that the defense area's innovation and development are under national control, safeguarding the autonomy of the Armed Forces and, therefore, of the Brazilian State.
  • They took part in projects in the Defense and Security area or held knowledge essential for national sovereignty.
