22 Sep 2015 / Brazil
About 70% of Brazil’s federal health supervisors have been on strike since Friday, 18 September.
The supervisors are responsible for the release of Brazilian cargo in foreign ports, amongst other activities. Their action may affect the legal procedures for the unloading of cargoes. It is primarily affecting exports of grain and meat, though there are also fears that it may affect maize exports.
All the exportation supervisor staff at the ports of Santos and Itajai, two of the biggest in the country and responsible for a major part of the loading and unloading of meat and grains, have been out on strike.
There is currently no end date forecast for the strike. However, representatives of the striking workers say that basic services will be provided to ensure public health and the health of cattle and vegetables.
