The management of Fafen has confirmed that there is a process underway, and the deactivation and dismissal of a large part of its employees is expected to occur within 14 days, still in February. Thus, the United Federation of Oil Workers (FUP) initiated a strike early Saturday morning (1) with demands that include the suspension of employee layoffs at Fafen.
Decompression Process at Petrobras Plant
As is widely known, compressors are intended to control the tank pressure by removing vapors to maintain stable pressure. Despite the occurrence of the sudden shutdown of this equipment, which vents vapors to the atmosphere and dissipates them with water, considered a normal safety operation, “the situation is under control and there are no risks to people and the environment,” Petrobras stated in a note.
