Bahia Court Blocks Salary Reductions and Rights Cuts Imposed by Petrobras on Oil Workers

Bahia: Petrobras will have to pay turnaround oil workers all the additional benefits guaranteed under the Collective Labor Agreement (CLA) for the category. The state-owned company will also have to negotiate with unions any changes it intends to make regarding what is agreed upon in the CLA.

This was the decision of labor judge Giselli Gordiano of the 8th Labor Court of Salvador (TRT-5th Region), who granted the urgent protection request from Sindipetro, determining that Petrobras “refrain from altering the working conditions outlined in its internal corporate regulation PP-1PBR-00515.”

In her ruling, issued yesterday (27), the judge ordered Petrobras to immediately halt salary reductions and cuts in rights and benefits imposed by the company’s management on workers in Bahia who are in administrative roles, as well as those from the operational area who were transferred to administrative jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The decision applies to all employees “even when active in an administrative/remote work regime, in the months of April, May, and June 2020, or any subsequent periods under the same conditions, per the aforementioned reasoning.”

The judge also ordered that the deducted amounts be deposited in the salary advance sheet for June 2020, with full payment of salaries.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

The largest precious metals mine under construction in the world is situated on a layer of ore 25 times thicker than common mines in South Africa, and has just connected a third shaft that will quintuple the extraction of platinum, palladium, and gold.

How much does it cost to make a radier? A shallow foundation can speed up the construction and reduce stages, but poorly compacted soil, excess load, and design errors can turn the concrete slab into cracks, structural settlements, and much higher expenses later on.

Goodbye steel rebar? Scientists create 3D-printed plastic reinforcement that “bites” into concrete, prevents corrosion, and could change beams, slabs, and bridges in civil construction.

End of heavy manual drilling: three robots take over more than 9,000 holes in the Engelberg tunnel in Germany, working at a height of 7.5 meters and increasing precision in construction carried out with traffic in operation.

With unprecedented technology brought from China, Bahia will build a 12.4 km bridge over the Baía de Todos-os-Santos, which will be the largest over the sea in Latin America, connecting Salvador to Itaparica and shortening trips by up to 250 km after decades of waiting.
