On The 72nd Anniversary Of Petrobras, Workers Organize Events In Minas Gerais, Bahia, And Other Company Bases Amid Discussions About Management Models And Energy Sovereignty.
This Friday (10/03), Petrobras completes 72 Years Since Its Foundation. Created from the popular mobilization that marked the “The Oil Is Ours” campaign, the state-owned company has established itself as one of the main references in the Brazilian energy sector. Over the decades, it has contributed to the industrial and technological development of the country, and has become a central piece in the debate over national sovereignty.
Mobilizations At State-Owned Plants And Bases
The company’s anniversary is marked by events organized by workers in different locations. Among the highlights are the mobilizations at Petrobras Biocombustível plants in Minas Gerais and Bahia, as well as actions at operational bases of the Petrobras System in other regions.
The demonstrations take place amid the claim campaign of the category, which discusses issues related to working conditions, management models, and the future of the state-owned subsidiaries.

Petrobras confirms that it will reimburse amounts to distributors and return the price difference from the gas auction following a regulatory decision.

Petrobras buys back fields for billions — what no one is talking about regarding this decision and how it could impact jobs and oil in Brazil.
-
New escalation of tensions and oil crisis in the Middle East forces world powers to accelerate energy transition plans.

Giant reservoirs with a capacity of 18 million cubic meters have turned Fujairah into one of the largest energy vaults on the planet. This facility, located outside the Strait of Hormuz, stores oil on a colossal scale and has become a silent piece that supports the global flow of fuels.
Discussion About Partnerships And Privatizations
One of the topics that generates the most debate is the adoption of new partnership models with the private sector. In the case of Petrobras Biocombustível, the possibility of transferring employees to the holding company, without guarantees of stability, has raised questions from unions and representatives of the category.
Similar measures have also been implemented at the Nitrogen Fertilizer Plants in Bahia and Sergipe, where operation and maintenance contracts have been outsourced. Experts point out that such initiatives could bring significant changes in labor relations and the functioning of the Petrobras System.
The Agenda For A Sovereign Brazil
Since 2023, unions and representative entities have been discussing an agenda called Agenda For A Sovereign Brazil, which brings together proposals aimed at the reconstruction of Petrobras and a just energy transition. The document calls for strengthening the subsidiaries, greater social participation in decisions, and an expansion of strategic investments.
This agenda, according to the representatives of the category, will be formalized with the company this Friday (10/03) within the ongoing collective negotiation process.
With the resumption of public competitions and the entry of new professionals, Petrobras is experiencing a moment of renewal while facing pressures related to business models, partnerships, and its strategic role in the energy sector.
Thus, the 72nd anniversary of the state-owned company takes place amid a scenario of celebrations, mobilizations, and debates about the future of the company in the context of Brazilian energy sovereignty.
