Strike brings Santos port to a halt
Stevedores at Santos port in Brazil’s Sao Paulo state, on Monday morning started one-day strike action calling for inflation adjustments to their wages.
All 2,500 unionized workers at the port are involved and no cargo would be handled for the day.
With numerous cargo terminals, Santos is Brazil’s and Latin America’s busiest container-handling port.
The dockers’ union held out the option for extended industrial action when they meet again on Friday.
