Unions Will Appeal for Interdiction of Petrobras Platforms Due to Coronavirus Contamination

The interruption of operations in seven Petrobras platforms in the Campos Basin will be requested by the Unified Federation of Oil Workers (FUP) and Sindipetro Norte Fluminense (Sindipetro NF) to the National Agency of Petroleum (ANP) and the Sanitary Surveillance, due to the number of contaminated workers.

The cases occurred at the oil company’s units P-26, P-50, P-18, P-35, P-20, P-33, and P-62, all in the Campos Basin, reported the Unified Federation of Oil Workers.

FUP also reported that according to information received through the whistleblowing channel created by Sindipetro-NF, daily, two to three workers on board have left their jobs on the platforms with symptoms of the disease.
