The objective of this work was to analyze the corporate actions of the LATAM group, in relation to its Commanders to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, seeking to identify which program proposals the LATAM Group is offering to its commanders. As a specific objective, this research aimed to identify the negotiation processes, as well as to analyze the way in which this process was initiated through the work agreements and the influence of the union in this attempt to reach an agreement, seeking to understand how a collective agreement is being built that allows the company to achieve its primary purpose of cutting expenses. This research was an exploratory one, based on bibliographical research, consultation in books, data analysis, scientific articles and works of doctrinators who deal with the theme of this research, as well as specific legislation. Among the main conclusions, we can mention that all the actions taken by the company in the attempt to reach an agreement revolve around reducing the amount paid on the payroll. Therefore, the sense of wanting to promote the programs of voluntary unpaid leave, the program of voluntary dismissal, and the program of staggered reduction of working hours and salary.
