The Workers at Replan and Recap Brought Forward the Strike to This Monday, and There Will Be a Nationwide Strike on the 30th
The strike of the oil workers was brought forward in two refineries in São Paulo, Replan in the municipality of Paulínia and Recap, in the city of Mauá. The union leading these two units is Sindipetro Unificado de São Paulo. Previously, the strike was scheduled for the 30th of this month, lasting 72 hours, based on a mutual agreement with the entire workforce at the national level, but Sindipetro Unificado decided to start today. We do not yet know if other institutions will stick to the schedule. It is expected that the administrative sector of these refineries will also stop working, not just the operational.
The motivation for the disruptions aims to support the truck drivers’ strike, who are demanding fairer practices for these daily price changes in fuels, which are regulated by Petrobras and, according to the union, favors only the foreign market to the detriment of Brazilians. Nowadays, the price of a barrel of oil is regulated by market variations since this commodity is a commodity. In the PT era, these prices were “relatively frozen” because they were subsidized by the government, and the bill ended up reaching Petrobras at the beginning of the crisis, forcing it to change its pricing policies.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state aims to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

On May 30th, the strike of the oil workers will be national across all Petrobras units, extending from administrative roles to offshore and onshore operations where there are oil and gas activities. Initially, this strike will end on June 2nd. There is no information on whether outsourced workers (those who are not Petrobras employees) can also participate in the strike. If the strike schedule remains, there will initially be no risk of production falling, but due to fuel shortages at airports and offshore support vessels, the union intends to interrupt the boarding and disembarking of workers.
