Des grévistes du secteur pétrolier vendent du gaz et de l’essence à bas prix

En lutte contre la privatisation et les licenciements, l’action des grévistes fait penser aux actions « Robins des Bois » en France. Grand geste de solidarité de classe.

 

Il s’agit d’une grève dont la solidarité ouvrière est une caractéristique très importante. Comme on peut le lire dans les pages de nos camarades d’Esquerda Diario : « dans un contexte où le nombre de chômeurs est très élevé, 11,6 millions de personnes pour être précis, ce n’est pas un simple détail que l’ensemble d’un secteur comme celui des pétroliers, qui a un grand poids social, prenne la défense des emplois de leurs collègues, même s’ils ne se connaissent pas personnellement ou vivent à des kilomètres de distance les uns des autres, et plus encore, remettant en cause la division entre les salariés directement embauchés par l’entreprise et les travailleurs précaires, une division si répandue dans l’entreprise et à travers le pays. La grève fait un premier pas vers l’unité dans le secteur, luttant pour les postes de 400 employés embauchés directement par Petrobras et 600 travailleurs précaires [intérimaires, contrats temporaires, sous-traitants] ».

( plus de 11 millions de chômeurs et plus de 30%  de la population active dans l'informalité. Au total de plus de 40 millions de la population)

Workers at the Brazilian oil company Petrobras will go on an indefinite nationwide strike

Layoffs and deindustrialization

The Jair Bolsonaro administration’s policy, focused on selling state-run companies and shutting down strategic Petrobras plants, is having huge impact on oil workers. The company announced mass layoffs and actions that attack agreed rights, also affecting the Brazilian people and the development of the country.

Brazilian oil workers on strike against layoffs at Petrobas

The FUP, part of CNQ/CUT, which is affiliated to IndustriALL Global Union, launched the strike on 1 February, campaigning for the 396 direct employees and 600 subcontracted workers who will be affected by the plant closure. Layoffs are expected to start on 14 February.
According to the union, the mass layoffs violate the collective agreement signed in November 2019. In the agreement, Petrobras agreed to no mass layoffs for five years without prior consultation with the unions. The announced dismissals at the fertilizer plant came without first discussing alternatives with the union.



FUP says that the fertilizer plant is not the only Petrobras unit experiencing difficulties, and there has been layoffs and mass transfers of employees across the Petrobras system, which includes subsidiaries and privately owned companies connected to Petrobas.
President Jair Bolsonaro's government supports the privatization of Petrobras. Over five years, the oil company has cut its investments in Brazil by 50 per cent, resulting in the loss of 270,000 direct and subcontracted jobs.
Workers from more than 30 Petrobas units have come together for the strike. Various campaigns are run across the twelve Brazilian states in which the oil company operates.

( Feb 18th, 21 000 workers are on strike)

Crucially, the government directed everyone to install a “Wuhan Neighbors” applet downloaded from WeChat. That determines “our home’s quarantine address through satellite positioning, and then lock on our affiliated community organization and volunteers. Thenceforth, our social activities and information announcements would be connected to the system.”

O governo Bolsonaro apresentou um projeto de lei que permitiria que policiais não fossem condenados por assassinatos. Suas políticas ambientais efetivamente acenderam  o sinal verde às redes criminosas que praticam extração ilegal de madeira na Amazônia e usam a intimidação e a violência contra povos indígenas, residentes locais, ativistas e agentes ambientais que defendem a floresta tropical e seus habitantes.  


Em 2016 o  Brasil já havia perdido 19,5% da Floresta Amazônica. Equivalente à metade do Estado do Amazonas 

The Bolsonaro government introduced a bill that would allow police officers not to be convicted of murder. Its environmental policies effectively give the green light to criminal networks that practice illegal logging in the Amazon and use intimidation and violence against indigenous peoples, local residents, activists and environmental agents who defend the rainforest and its inhabitants.

In 2016 Brazil had already lost 19.5% of the Amazon rainforest. Equivalent to half of the state of Amazonas
