Petrobras' Offshore Workforce Threatening 5-Day Strike Over Travel Time Policy

[hatrack]

BRAZIL: Oil workers on Petrobras' offshore platforms in the Campos Basin offshore Brazil have threatened to go on strike for five days, starting on July 14, according to a story from Reuters. The workers are calling the strike to force state oil company Petrobras to count the day workers leave platforms to return to shore as a full working day.

The United Oil Worker's Federation has made separate plans to meet on Tuesday and discuss another five-day strike at Petrobras facilities such as terminals and refineries, to gain a larger share of Petrobras' profits for the workers.
