 Postal workers throughout Brazil went on strike September 14. The national strike was approved after unsuccessful negotiations. The workers claim the lost wages of 24% plus $ 400.00 for real adjustment. The post office’s proposal, which did not reflect workers demands, was 6.87% of the inflationary losses over the last year with $ 50.00 real gain. Workers also protested against the poor working conditions. According to Rogério Ubine, FENTECT Secretary for International Relations and Vice President of UNI Post And Logistics Americas, they are protesting the categorization of new hires and labor guarantees that have not been granted in the new postal law. Rogerio says: “The Brazilian government does not want to give real adjustment for fear of the crisis, but the post office and the country grow then we distribute wealth through the earnings of workers. At the same time we need to have guarantees on labor law changes to be implemented.
