The FUP Maintains Oil And Gas Activity Interruptions At Petrobras Units, Even With A Fine Of 500 Thousand Reais Per Day If They Continue The Strike. Find Out Which Services Will Be Affected

The National Strike Of Oil Workers Started Today At 12 AM This Wednesday, With A Planned End Date Of June 2, However, It May Be Extended Much Longer If The Category Deems It Necessary. The Oil Workers’ Mobilization Focuses On Demands For Reductions In Fuel And Cooking Gas Prices, Job Preservation, Resumption Of Domestic Fuel Production, Ending Gasoline Imports And Other Oil Derivatives, Ending Privatizations And Dismantling Of The Petrobras System, And Dismissal Of Pedro Parente From The Presidency Of Petrobras.

Superior Labor Court Denied The Right To Strike

The TST (Superior Labor Court) Did Not Recognize The Legitimacy Of The National Strike Of Oil Workers And Ordered All Entities Of The Category Not To Proceed With The Action, Under Penalty Of 500 Thousand Reais Per Day If The Measure Was Disobeyed. The FUP And Its Affiliates Naturally Maintain The Action. Minister Maria De Assis Calsing, Who Filed The Lawsuit On Behalf Of The AGU And Petrobras, Stated That The Category’s Demonstrations Are Political In Nature And Are Not Related To Defending Workers’ Rights, But Rather Riding The Truckers’ Strike, Causing Further Damage To The Already Fragile Brazilian Economy, As The Lack Of Oil Production During This Period Represents Losses Of Millions Per Day To The State-Owned Company.

Activities That Will Be Interrupted

According To The General Schedule Of Oil Workers (Which May Vary According To The Unit), Offshore/Onshore/Administrative Operations And Activities Must Be Immediately Interrupted. Here Are Some Procedures:

  1. Offshore – Production Must Be Handed Over To Contingency Teams And If It Is Not Possible To Continue, It Should Be Interrupted With The Debarkation Of The Teams.
  2. Refineries – Demonstrations Will Occur Within The Units, This Measure Applies To Both Operational And Administrative Areas.
  3. Aerial Support – Teams Should Only Attend Emergency Flights Or The Debarkation Of Striking Workers.

According To The Category, There Will Be No Significant Damage To Production And There Is No Risk Of Shortages. Two Refineries Had Already Anticipated The Strike On The 28th, Find Out Which They Are Here.
