After Being Criminalized by the Courts and Having the Daily Fine Increased, Oil Workers Decide to Interrupt the Strike

The oil workers suspended the strike due to the imposition of a daily fine of R$ 2 million and the criminalization of the movement. “The TST plays the game of capital and would not let the oil workers’ strike go unpunished. The daily fines of R$ 500 thousand jumped to R$ 2 million, in addition to the criminalization of the movement,” says a part of the FUP (Unique Federation of Oil Workers) note. The FUP states that it is “a momentary and necessary retreat” for the construction of an indefinite strike, which was nationally approved by the category. “This serious violation of union rights will be widely denounced,” promises the entity.
