According to Poder 360, at least 20 Brazilian states have been prevented from participating in the truck drivers’ strike on this Monday (01). It was expected that the halt would occur only starting from the 2nd. Deputies contest the decision published by the STF, the Federal Supreme Court, and argue that it is against the Brazilian constitution to prevent citizens from manifesting. Santa Catarina, which could have faced crowds on BR 101 and traffic stoppages, also had prohibitions.

Last Friday (29), the Ibovespa, the Stock Exchange, ended down 2% at 103,000 points due to the climate of instability for this week. Markets are already alerting their clients that if there is a block, they may run out of supplies. Adilson Souza, in an interview for our portal, stated that during the strike they had in September, the company he worked for transporting gas ran out of stock and could not meet customer orders.

“We don‘t know how it should work, how it will be. But, I think the consequences will be the same as before. The rise of the dollar, gasoline prices, the decrease in operations on the Stock Exchange. The sector does not have a centralized organization on whether or not to manifest, everyone is deciding for themselves on their day off”, he adds.

Holiday: How It Will Happen for Truck Drivers?

The holiday on November 2 is national and not optional. Therefore, employees have the right to take a day off or choose to receive overtime at 100% if the position mandates this. Due to the impossibility of the truck drivers’ strike addressed by the STF, the Federal Supreme Court, it is expected that traffic to coastal regions will continue to flow normally and without major delays.

Workers in the sector, who promised to hold protests on that day, contest on social media that the STF is imposing a dictatorship. In their petitions and requests, they asked for a reduction in retirement age from 65 years for men and also greater control over diesel prices, as well as gasoline prices. In at least 6 states, the price of both has already exceeded R$ 7 and could reach R$ 8 by the end of 2021.

Impacts Already Felt?

The impacts of the truck drivers’ strike attempt with low adherence can already be felt in the Brazilian economy: the dollar, the U.S. currency, started the day up by 0.06%, costing about R$ 5.65. The exchange rate, in the year 2021, has been one of the main factors determining the constant changes in fuel prices. Regarding the Ibovespa, despite the climate of instability, it started the day with a slight increase of 0.96% to 104,000 points. The Stock Exchange would have ended the day down at 103,000 points, adding a negative valuation of 2% last Friday (29).
