Strike of 5 Thousand Construction Workers Threatens Schedule of COP 30 in Belem and Pressures Employers to Offer 6% Increase and Basic Basket of R$ 130

Construction and furniture workers in Belem, Ananindeua, and Marituba went on strike this Tuesday (16th), for an indefinite period. According to the Union of Workers in the Construction and Furniture Industries of Belem (STICMB), about 5 thousand workers joined the stoppage.

The affected works include projects in the hotel sector, Vila COP 30 — where heads of state are expected to stay — and Parque da Cidade, a space that will host negotiations among the countries during the event.

Despite the stoppage, the State Secretariat of Public Works (Seop) stated that “the works for COP 30 are proceeding normally, within the scheduled timeline.”

Workers Reject Previous Proposal and Demand Progress

Among the demands of the category are a higher salary increase, improvements in working conditions, promotions for women in the field, and the payment of Profit Sharing (PLR) in two installments of R$ 378.

The strike began after workers rejected the initial employer proposal, which offered a 5.5% increase and an increase of only R$ 10 in the value of the basic basket, going from R$ 110 to R$ 120.

The workers considered the indices insufficient, especially considering the amount calculated by Dieese, which indicates a cost of R$ 687.30 for the basic basket in Belem.

Sinduscon-PA Presents New Proposal to End the Strike

In a public statement released this Wednesday (17th), the Construction Industry Union of the State of Pará (Sinduscon-PA) updated its proposal.

The entity now offers 6% salary increase and increase in the basic basket allowance to R$ 130, which represents a growth of 19% over the current value of R$ 110.

According to Sinduscon-PA, the new indices exceed the accumulated inflation of the last 12 months, measured by INPC at 5.13%, and provide a real gain for workers.

The entity stated that the new proposal demonstrates the sector’s effort to ensure real gains for the category, considering the current economic scenario.

Sinduscon-PA Presents New Proposal to End the Strike

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Luciano Hang, owner of Havan, becomes a model entrepreneur in Brazil, but the harsh reality is rarely told: each new megastore requires up to R$ 100 million, takes about 5 years to break even, and can generate R$ 14 million annually per unit.

In a historic decision, Aneel regulates the use of batteries in the Brazilian electrical system and lays the groundwork for large-scale energy storage, reducing waste, enhancing energy security, and attracting new billion-dollar projects.

A 65,000-kilometer scar hidden at the bottom of the ocean reveals how the Earth continues to slowly open up as scientists observe the gigantic underwater ridge that has been reshaping continents for millions of years.

China has even created a degree in rare earths to train specialists in the minerals that power electric cars, turbines, airplanes, and military radars, while the West tries to catch up.
