The Union Informs That They Will Strike at Petrobras’ Refineries and Oil Platforms in May

The announcement from Petrobras about the privatization of the Presidente Getúlio Vargas (Repar-PR), Alberto Pascoaline (Refap-RS), Abreu e Lima (PE), and Rlam refineries in Bahia caused a lot of confusion this week and unleashed the fury of labor movements and oil workers linked to the state-owned company, right after Pedro Parente’s statement. Oil workers are already organizing to carry out a nationwide general strike in protest against this measure, in an attempt to reverse this decision.

The president of Sindipetro PR/SC, Mário Dal Zot, has declared war against Pedro Parente and promises unprecedented strikes. At this moment, meetings and assemblies are taking place to determine the best ways to launch the strike, which according to Mario, could be indefinite.

Fernando Maia, the current director of FUP, wants to carry out a strike equal to or greater than the one that occurred in 1995, which also aimed to prevent possible privatizations of Petrobras. At that time, Fernando Henrique Cardoso was the president of Brazil. Oil workers joined the strike and halted activities at platforms, administrative units of Petrobras, distribution terminals, and refineries.

The announcement of the nationwide general strike against the privatizations of Petrobras’ refineries is expected to occur after assemblies between April 30 and May 12, according to FUP. The Keuri Método Consortium was formed with the goal of completing the Comperj construction, issues an official statement about the beginning of hiring and how resumes will be accepted for the construction of the UPGN, read the article here and get the information firsthand.
