Happy new year karoonies.

Looks like petrobras and the unions are in talks and close to solving their pay disputes.

I have no idea whether this means that the union will drop their injuction against bauna/tartaruga. But it's a positive regardless.

From the fup website(using google translate)

"The FUP met on the morning of Thursday, January 5, with Petrobras' HR sector. The federation presented the resolutions of the Deliberative Council held yesterday, January 4, aimed at an understanding of the Addendum to the current Collective Agreement.

   

The points presented at today's meeting were:

- Extension of the current Collective Labor Agreement until 08/31/2018.

- Restoring inflation.

- compliance with the payment of ATS for Araucária Nitrogenados workers

- to refer to the Working Committee Committee the discussions about reduction of the administrative day with reduction of salary, as well as the number of manageable overtime in the company.



The post-coup national political situation was central to the debates held at the FUP Council. The neoliberal escalation, which, among other attacks, comes to withdraw the rights of the working class, directed the FUP to claim the extension of the current agreement until 08/31/2018.

The Federation and the unions are waiting for a position from Petrobrás."

Let's hope Petrobras and the unions sort something out.
