Brazil Oil Workers Reject Petrobras Offer, Enter Pre-Strike Estado de Greve

Union leaders set a Tuesday meeting to press Petrobras for responses on contested staffing measures.

Overview

  • The move was approved by a wide majority across assemblies held by the 14 unions of the FUP, concluded last Friday.
  • The FUP formally notified Petrobras and subsidiaries including Transpetro, PBio, Ansa, Termobahia and TBG of the rejection and the pre-strike status.
  • Under the estado de greve, a strike can begin at any time without new assemblies, according to the federation.
  • Union priorities include recomposing workforce levels and calling reserve lists from public hiring processes.
  • Leaders seek answers on a voluntary separation plan and unilateral changes to doctors’ and dentists’ shifts at a meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 11.
