Petrobras ended up being forced to initiate emergency contracts with jobs in the technical and operational area. With no forecast for the end of the oil workers' strike and fearing that their oil production would be affected, including the safety of the workers, the court ended up authorizing the hiring of "non-performed workers", which could even trigger a jurisprudence so that the state-owned company no longer needs to open public tenders in the future.
