Brazil Court Curbs Aviation Strike Ahead of Christmas
This article is for subscribers only.
Brazil’s Superior Labor Court ordered aviation workers to limit a strike that threatens to disrupt flights during the country’s Christmas travel rush.
At least 80 percent of flight crew and ground staff must work from today until Jan. 2, or the court will levy fines of 100,000 real ($59,000) a day, according to a ruling by Milton de Moura Franca, the court’s head. The judgment was posted on the body’s website. A call to Brazil’s national air worker union’s office outside regular hours went unanswered.
