Only The Northern Region Is Not Experiencing Gasoline Shortages

Despite everything, according to the state unions, so far, only the northern region of the state is not experiencing problems. In Itajaí, there are no issues according to Sincombustíveis.

The executive secretary of the union, César Ferreira Junior, stated that so far none of the fuel station owners have complained about the truck drivers’ strike. It is still unclear how the situation will unfold throughout the day or the week.

As there is nothing official, it is not possible for the unions to comment, but the secretary stated that when there is an abnormality, everyone will be alerted. In the West, the situation is similar. According to the Union of Workers in Companies That Resell Fuels and Derivatives of Petroleum (Sitercomoc), there is no information about gasoline shortages due to the truck drivers’ strike in front of the distributors.

Other Unions Report Normalcy at Fuel Stations

The Union of Retail Trade of Mineral Fuels of Florianópolis (Sindópolis) claims that, for now, there are no inconveniences and that in the region, the truck drivers have been leaving the distributors normally.

The Union of Transport and Logistics Companies in the State of SC (Setcesc) states that it is monitoring the blockade points, but it is too early to say anything regarding possible fuel supply issues.

The administrative manager of the union states that he operates with a more negative outlook for the weekend release, but does not believe there will be a fuel shortage at stations in the state. He emphasized that it is difficult for there to be a supply problem, as the issue is not penalizing the population.
