Campos Basin Oil Workers Keep Strike as Sindipetro-NF Rejects Petrobras Offer

Overview

• The Norte Fluminense union voted on Dec. 26 to continue the stoppage that began on Dec. 15 after reviewing three letters sent by Petrobras.
• Petrobras says it adjusted its collective agreement proposal, while the union called the changes only partial and not responsive to core demands.
• The letters include talks on treatment of strike-day pay deductions, the incorporation of Transpetro workers at the Cabiúnas base, and a pipeline allowance.
• FUP reports assemblies in Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Ceará and Duque de Caxias approved the proposal and suspended strikes, as FNP-affiliated bases in RJ, Amazônia, Litoral Paulista and AL/SE continue stoppages.
• Key union demands center on fixing Petros pension deficits, setting PLR terms and wage improvements, and protecting careers and retirees, as Petrobras maintains there has been no impact on production or fuel supply due to contingencies.
