With Road Blocked, Workers at Porto do Açu in Rio de Janeiro Hold Protest on the Morning of Wednesday, November 6
In Rio, employees of two companies at the Açu Port Complex in São João da Barra are protesting, alleging that companies like Andrade Gutierrez are conducting mass layoffs; the workers are also claiming the lack of health insurance. The Porto do Açu Set a Record for Oil Movement in 2019.
The protest occurred on the morning of Wednesday, November 6, at the height of Rua Nova. According to reports, the layoffs are being carried out without ensuring the labor rights of the employees working at the Porto do Açu.

Hungarian mothers began confronting electric car battery factories over fears of contaminated water and industrial waste, saying the green industry was poisoning the neighborhood.
The workers blocked the road near Rua Nova, which provides access to the location on the morning of that day, preventing other workers from other companies from reaching their workplaces.
Other vehicles that need to travel to the 5th district of SJB are also unable to pass through that road. The action taken by the protesters is causing significant traffic jams and, consequently, disruptions in the area.
Gates 1 and 2 were closed, and around 8 a.m., after no agreement was reached, the workers were released to go home.
