After Days Of Collapse In Public Transport, The Bus Strike In Campo Grande Is Moving Towards An End With The Anticipation Of R$ 3.3 Million From The State, Conditioned To The Payment Of Delayed Salaries And The 13th By The Guaicurus Consortium, Negotiated By City Hall, Council And Union, To Finally End The Paralysis.
After Days Of The City Practically At A Standstill, The Bus Strike In Campo Grande, The Government Of Mato Grosso Do Sul Confirmed, Is Set To End This Thursday, The 18th, After The Urban Public Transport Workers’ Union Confirmed The Start Of Preparations For The Return Of Drivers To Work, Following An Agreement Reached With The City Hall, The Municipal Chamber, And The State Government.
The Decision Was Announced On Thursday Morning, Just Minutes After Governor Eduardo Riedel Authorized The Anticipation Of R$ 3.3 Million For The Funding Of Student Free Passes, Enabling The Payment Of The Remaining Salaries For November And The 13th, Which Must Be Settled By Tomorrow To Ensure The Full Resumption Of Service And Alleviate The Chaos Experienced By Passengers.
Anticipation Of R$ 3.3 Million Enables Payment And Releases Agreement
According To The Negotiators, The Anticipation Of R$ 3.3 Million By The State Government Was The Turning Point To Unlock The Crisis In Public Transport.

-
Government suspends over 3 million traffic fines in Brazil and drivers breathe a sigh of relief.
-
Iran has just approved toll charges for ships in the Strait of Hormuz and has completely prohibited the passage of vessels from the United States and Israel in the world’s most important maritime route for the global energy market.
-
Government cancels R$ 25 million “celebration” for Brasília’s anniversary and allocates funds to health.
The Funds Will Be Used To Cover The Student Free Passes, Easing The Consortium Guaicurus’s Finances And Creating Room For Worker Payments.
After The Official Confirmation From The State, A Meeting At The Municipal Chamber, Held On Thursday Morning, Formalized The Resolution Of The Paralysis.
At The Same Time, The City Hall Sent A Letter Requesting The Anticipation Of Funds, And The Administrative Procedures Are Already Underway To Release The Money, A Step Considered Essential For The Bus Strike To End Today.
The State Secretary Of Government, Rodrigo Perez, Confirmed That This Was The Last Bureaucratic Step Necessary To Finalize The Agreement, Emphasizing That With The Formal Request, The Payment Process Will Be Expedited So That The Drivers Can Receive And The System Can Resume Operation.
Union Conditions End Of Bus Strike On Payment Of Salaries And 13th
Even With The Progress Of Negotiations, The Union Makes It Clear That The End Of The Bus Strike Directly Depends On The Fulfillment Of The Agreement By The Guaicurus Consortium.
The President Of The STTCU, Demétrio Freitas, Stated That There Is Still A Shortfall Of 50% Of The Salaries For November, In Addition To The 13th Salary, Which Is Due Tomorrow.
“It Is No Use Paying Today And Delaying Again Tomorrow. We Need Everything To Be Paid So That The Workers Can Return Calmly.
We Commit That If Payment Is Made, Workers Will Return Immediately. I Have Already Called Them To Communicate, And You Can Be Sure That If This Happens During The Day, The Buses Will Return Today,” Declared The Union Leader.
In The Union’s View, The Agreement Will Only Be Fully Complied With When The Money Is In The Workers’ Accounts.
Until Then, The Category Remains On Alert, Even In The Face Of The Government’s Positive Signals And The Pressure From The Municipal Chamber To Ensure The Normalization Of Services.
Municipal Chamber Acts As A Mediator Amid The Chaos In Transport
The Municipal Chamber Has Taken A Protagonist Role In Mediating The Crisis Amid A City Without Buses For Several Days.
The President Of The Chamber, Epaminondas Vicente Neto, Known As Papy, Emphasized That Campo Grande “Has Been Suffering Absurdly From The Paralysis Of Public Transport”, Reiterating That The Priority Was To Defend The Population Without Abandoning The Workers’ Salary Issues.
He Reported That He Conditioned The Commitment With The Union To The Possibility Of Anticipating The State Transfer.
According To Papy, He Told Demétrio That If The Government At Least Signaled That It Could Anticipate The Funds, The Return Of The Drivers Should Be Immediate, A Commitment That The Union Made And Validated In The Chamber.
Papy Also Reported The Effort Together With Governor Eduardo Riedel, Whom He Approached Even During A Busy Schedule.
In A Long Conversation, The State Executive Head Requested Time To Assess The Fiscal And Financial Feasibility Of The Anticipation, Committing To Provide An Answer On Thursday, Which Ultimately Happened.
Days Of Chaos For The Population And Expectation Of Return Of The Lines
While The Bus Strike Paralyzed The System, Thousands Of Residents Were Left Without Alternatives For Transportation, Facing Difficulties In Getting To Work, Schools, And Health Services.
The Assessment In The Chamber Is That The Population Was “Left Without Transport”, While The Drivers Themselves Were Also Not Being Paid.
With The Progress Of The Agreement And The Confirmation Of The Anticipation Of Funds, The Expectation Is That The Lines Will Start To Gradually Resume Throughout The Day, As The Guaicurus Consortium Completes The Payment Of The Remaining Salaries For November And The 13th.
The Union Has Already Instructed The Category To Stand By To Resume Activities As Soon As The Deposits Are Made.
There Is Still No Official Time Announced For The Full Normalization Of The Fleet, But The Signals From Those Involved Indicate That Once The Financial Obligations To Workers Are Met, The City Should Begin To Feel Relief In The Coming Hours, After Days Of Significant Wear And Pressure On The Public Authority And The Company Responsible For Transport.
And You, After So Many Days Of Paralysis, How Do You Evaluate The Handling Of This Bus Strike In Campo Grande: Did The Agreement Come At The Right Time Or Did It Take Too Long?
