On the day of a visit from the director of Transpetro/Petrobras, oil workers protest against the poor working conditions and high fuel prices. Workers from the Transpetro/Petrobras Aquatic Terminal in Paranaguá (Tepar) block all access roads to the unit on the morning of this Wednesday (3), including for trucks.

The protest is organized by the Sindicato dos Petroleiros Do Paraná E Santa Catarina and takes place during the visit of the Transpetro’s director of pipelines and terminals, Benício Antunes. Several problems that occur in the location are pointed out, including the deterioration of facilities, lack of safety, salary cuts, reduction in the number of employees, and the worsening of working conditions.

The union questions how the company’s managers enrich themselves with very high salaries, bonuses, and other perks, while the workforce, both permanent and contracted, faces a dire work situation. The president of Petrobras, General Joaquim Luna e Silva, earns R$ 260 thousand per month. Meanwhile, professionals with many years of experience have seen their earnings reduced to almost the minimum wage, in addition to suffering cuts in various other rights, such as health plans.

Safety is another problem. The lack of proper maintenance due to budget cuts places the facilities in danger, as the terminal operates with flammable products and equipment degradation is evident. The Tepar has become a ticking time bomb, putting the community and surrounding businesses at risk.

The demonstration also criticizes the high fuel prices, a result of the company’s management policy, which charges Brazilian consumers based on international oil quotes and the dollar. This practice is known as PPI – Import Parity Price. It’s absurd that a country that produces oil and has a large refining capacity charges its people as if it imported all the fuel. While families are returning to cooking with firewood because they can no longer afford a gas cylinder, Petrobras distributed about R$ 32 billion to its shareholders this year alone. Most of that money went abroad.

The event is expected to last the whole day and causes truck lines in the surrounding area of Tepar.
