Oil workers march against layoffs at the state oil company Petrobras, in Rio de Janeiro, yesterday
A BRAZILIAN court has suspended the sacking of 1,000 fertiliser factory workers that prompted a mass strike at oil giant Petrobras.
Parana regional court ruled on Tuesday that the decision to fire the workers at Fafen-PR, a Petrobras subsidiary, was void until March 6.
The ruling was announced as over 1,000 oil workers rallied outside Petrobras HQ in Rio de Janeiro, waving trade-union banners and denouncing the layoffs.
