General Strike Planned In Brazil
Posted on Apr 28
The 24-hour strike in Brazil interrupted daily life around the country but did not have a widespread impact on cargo movements.
April 27, 2017
Brazil’s Central Workers’ Union (CUT) has called for a nationwide general strike on April 28, 2017, in protest of the government’s austerity policies.
The strike is expected to have an impact on airlines and other public sector work, and might affect port operations, too.
We will provide updates on this when available.
