In a statement, Petrobras said it has already informed all trade union entities by official letter the exact number of employees who joined the strike

TST authorized Petrobras to make emergency hires of people or services. Trade unions participating in the oil workers’ strike that began on February 1, will face sanctions imposed by the Superior Labor Court (TST) including a precautionary blocking of their bank accounts, as well as suspension of monthly transfers to the trade unions.

The sanctions were applied to the unions, led by the Unified Federation of Oil Workers (FUP), which are disobeying a court decision to maintain a minimum contingent of 90% of workers. The unions will also have to pay a daily fine of R$ 500,000 each.

In his decision, Minister Ives Gandra states that due to the “disregard for the provisions of the strike law and the court order, the strike has taken on an abusive nature.”

The unions are leading a stoppage since last Saturday in protest against the closure of the Ansa fertilizer factory in Paraná and the dismissal of around 400 employees from the unit.

The minister considered the strike to have political connotations “a political connotation and not direct economic, which is not allowed by this Court.” Last Tuesday, the TST had already determined that the incorporation of Ansa employees into other Petrobras units is unconstitutional.

In a statement, Petrobras said it has already informed all trade union entities by official letter the exact number of employees in each unit and by shift to meet the minimum contingent. “The company awaits immediate compliance with the court order.”

This week, Ansa employees are holding a vigil in front of Petrobras’ building in downtown Rio.

All coordinators/presidents of the unions told the Permanent Negotiation Commission of the FUP that the strike continues. According to FUP, around 18,000 workers have joined the stoppage in 50 company units across 13 states.

Since last Friday, five representatives of the Permanent Negotiation Commission of the FUP have occupied a room on the fourth floor of Petrobras’ headquarters building in downtown Rio.
