Campos oil basin workers could strike

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.
