Even With Petrobras’ Announcement to Freeze Diesel Prices, This May Not Prevent the Truck Drivers’ Strike

Petrobras Freezes Diesel Price Increase For 15 Days, But The News Is Not Enough To Prevent The Truck Drivers’ Strike Scheduled For The 30th Of This Month.

The leader of the truck drivers, Wallace Costa Landim, believes that the news that Petrobras Will Keep The Diesel Price Frozen For At Least 15 Days Is Still Not Enough To Avoid A Truck Drivers’ Strike, Which Could Erupt At Any Moment Under The Leaderships Emerging On Social Media. He Claims Not To Support The Movement But States That There Are 15 To 20 Organizing Groups For The Shutdown On Whatsapp That Are Beyond The Control Of Union Leaders.

The Class Understands That The Main Commitments Made By The Michel Temer Government Last Year Are Not Being Fulfilled. On The Agenda Of Demands, The First Request Concerns The Minimum Freight Table, Where Truck Drivers Claim That Companies Are Not Respecting The Minimum Value. The Second Item On The Agenda Is The Price Of Diesel, With Truck Drivers Wanting The Government To Establish A Monthly Adjustment Instead Of A Daily One. “They Question Having To Pay For Diesel In Dollars Given Petrobras’ Exorbitant Profits.”

To Present The Agenda Of Demands, Landim Met With Government Representatives, With One Meeting Taking Place On The 15th With The Minister Of The Civil House Onyx Lorenzoni And Also With The National Land Transport Agency (ANTT). On Friday, The 22nd, He Met With The Executive Secretary Of The Ministry Of Infrastructure, Marcelo Sampaio.

In A Statement, Petrobras Informed That According To A Global Fuel Price Survey, Brazil Occupies An Intermediate Position Regarding The Current Diesel Price.

This Tuesday, The 26th, Amid Rumors Of A Strike, Petrobras Announced That It Will Keep Prices Frozen For A Minimum Of 15 Days And That It Will Create A Card For Truck Drivers That Could Provide Benefits To Consumers. “90% Of The Category Supported The Election Of Bolsonaro. Now We Expect A Response. Petrobras Does Not Address 100% Of Our Demands, But Shows That The Government Is Seeking Mechanisms To Meet Us,” Said Landim.

Landim Announced That The Movement Has Lost Strength And That If A Strike Occurs, It Will Be Pointed Paralyzations. Three States Refuse To Join The Shutdown Scheduled For The 30th, Which Are Rio De Janeiro, Rio Grande Do Sul, And Rio Grande Do Norte.

The Government Wants To Avoid At All Costs Any Type Of Shutdown. It Does Not Want To Face The Same Problem That Halted The Country Last Year. For Landim, The Federal Government Is Mobilized To Address The Demands Of The Truck Drivers. “The Ministers Said That By Next Week, President Jair Bolsonaro Himself Should Make A Statement Regarding The Truck Drivers’ Requests,” Landim Reported.

According To The Entity That Brings Together Giants Such As BR Distribuidora, Raízen (A Joint Venture Between Cosan And Shell), And Ipiranga (From Grupo Ultra), The Biggest Problem For The Truck Drivers Is The Stagnation Of Sales, Not The Price Of Diesel.
