Why It Matters
Workers stopped activities due to salary delays, creating an impasse between the municipality and the service company.
According to the president of the Collective Transport Workers Union, Francinei Oliveira, the category decided to maintain the strike due to the lack of confirmation of salary payment. The impasse involves the city hall and the company responsible for the service: while the municipality claims that it made the transfers, the company claims that the amounts have not yet been credited.
After a meeting with workers during the early hours of the morning, it was decided that professionals would only return to work after confirming the deposit of salaries. According to Francinei, the expectation was that the amounts would be credited between 8:30 am and 9 am, which would allow transport to resume.
In a note, Porto Velho City Hall stated that it made payments to the company responsible for public transport within the established financial commitments. The municipality highlighted that the transfer of amounts to workers, including salaries and other labor obligations, is the responsibility of the contracted company.
The city hall regretted the inconvenience caused to the population and informed that it is monitoring the situation to adopt the necessary measures to continue the service.
