‘Caio Paes Does Not Meet The Requirements To Be President Of Petrobras’ – Oil Workers Said During Yesterday’s Strike (06/27)

According to the Category, the President Does Not Meet the Requirements to Lead the State-Owned Company

The protest took place yesterday, 27, in front of the building being used by the Petrobras top management, on Rua do Senado, in Rio de Janeiro. Participants point to the approval of Caio Paes de Andrade as the reason, a week after the departure of José Mauro Ferreira Coelho.

The oil workers are relying on the State-Owned Companies Law and the social statute of the oil company to raise their complaints.

The expectation, however, is that the manifesto will not disrupt Petrobras’s schedule, which is under pressure amid rising diesel and gasoline prices.
