Workers at Brazil’s Santos port will participate in a six-hour work stoppage on Feb. 22 to protest government plans for shipping terminals in the world’s second-largest emerging market.
The Santos strike will be followed by similar stoppages at other ports nationwide, said Paulo Pereira da Silva, federal deputy and president of the Forca Sindical labor confederation. Workers are planning an open-ended strike starting March 18 if no agreement has been reached with the government, Pereira said.
