BRAZILIAN PORTS SET FOR NATIONAL STRIKE THIS TUESDAY

Port workers in Brazil plan a nationwide walkout on Tuesday 22, to protest port regulation changes that unions say threaten their rights. The strike runs from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in all ports. Workers say they were not consulted, and that the changes benefit businessmen, even though the Chamber will receive the new regulatory framework on the 23rd. Changes include cooperatives and category removal. Santos worries about the STS-10 area auction closing the public wharf and affecting thousands of workers. Brasilia Mayor Rogério Santos opposes the measure and will address it.
