The national president of CUT (Central Única dos Trabalhadores), Vagner Freitas, calls on workers to participate in the demonstration in defense of jobs and rights, threatened by the interim government of coup leader Michel Temer. "The measures being announced by Temer's team show that they want to take away social and labor rights, such as the CLT (Consolidation of Labor Laws), formal employment contracts, vacations, and the 13th-month salary," says Vagner.
According to the president of CUT, the National Day of Mobilization is one of the actions planned by CUT and social movements to build towards a general strike in defense of the rights of the working class.
Oil workers and bank employees will hold a 24-hour strike.
Oil workers and bank employees, two of the largest categories affiliated with CUT (Central Única dos Trabalhadores), will hold a 24-hour strike to protest the erosion of workers' rights.
According to the general coordinator of FUP – the Unified Federation of Oil Workers, José Maria Rangel, the 24-hour strike that oil workers are carrying out this Friday will be one of the actions to resume the category's mobilizations against the handover of the pre-salt reserves and the privatization of Petrobras.
Bank workers across Brazil are striking this Friday against threats of retirement at age 65, unlimited outsourcing, flexibilization of labor laws, and the privatization of Caixa Econômica Federal and Banco do Brasil. "The proposed plan includes a series of rights cuts, which is unacceptable to workers. That's why we're striking: we will not accept any reduction in our rights," says the union president, Juvandia Moreira.
