The strike qualification seminar was held last Saturday (02/13). The event brought together the petroleum category, leaders from Sindipetro Bahia, Sindipetro Minas Gerais, and other unions, as well as the Unified Federation of Petroleum Workers.

In the meeting, accompanied by Sindipetro’s legal counsel, the strike strategy was decided, which will be implemented starting at midnight this Wednesday.

Petroleum Workers’ Strike Alleging Pressure and Moral Harassment by Petrobras

Petrobras’s exit from Bahia is causing serious consequences for the state and the oil-producing municipalities, which rely on taxes paid by the state-owned company as one of their main sources of revenue. Another major loss is due to Petrobras’s choice to reduce refining in its facilities and import products instead of using those we have in our national territory, all anchored by a high dollar and rising prices of fuels and other petroleum derivatives.

The petroleum workers are also being affected by this decision to sell state units. In Bahia, the scenario is one of terror, with moral harassment becoming a management tool, leading to illnesses and even death. This is compounded by the accelerated reduction of the workforce to less than a third of what it was a few years ago and the continuation of these reductions through dismissal programs and forced transfers.

Several onshore oil and gas fields have already been decommissioned and sold. There was also the abandonment of Torre Pituba, hibernation and subsequent leasing of FAFEN, and now, the sale of the Landulpho Alves Refinery.

In addition to fighting for the maintenance of jobs, whether their own or those of outsourced workers—most of whom are expected to be laid off with the sale of Rlam—against the harassment of workers and for a healthy work environment, petroleum workers warn that the transfer of the Landulpho Alves Refinery to Mubadala will create a regional private monopoly where the Arab fund will increasingly impose rises in the prices of petroleum derivatives, gasoline, diesel, and cooking gas.

The sale of Landulpho Alves (RLAM) to the Mubadala Fund for US$ 1.65 billion is also being contested by economists and experts on the matter. The Institute for Strategic Studies of Oil, Natural Gas, and Biofuels (Ineep), using the discounted cash flow method, indicated that the refinery would be worth between US$ 3 billion and US$ 4 billion.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.
