After around four months of negotiations, the oil workers ended the strike at Petrobras with the approval of the Collective Labor Agreement (ACT) 2025-2027. According to the state-owned company, the strikes had no impact on production or supply. The National Federation of Petroleum Workers (FNP) was the last to sign the agreement, which had four versions.

After initially offering a salary adjustment of 80% of the National Consumer Price Index (INPC) in 2025 and 100% of the INPC in 2026, in the fourth counter-proposal the company evolved to 100% of the Broad Consumer Price Index (IPCA) last year plus a 0.5% real increase.

“This strike brought about victorious results in the fight against Petrobras, which maintained an intransigent and omissive stance. And the message is clear to the company’s management: in four months we want a Jobs, Careers and Salary Plan (PCCS) that meets the category”, said in a statement the secretary general of the FNP, Adaedson Costa.

The FNP highlighted that important demands, such as salary recovery since the Temer and Bolsonaro governments, were not addressed. In 2019, the salary adjustment was 70% of the INPC and, in 2020, there was no adjustment. “We did not recover our salary from the ultra-right attacks”, noted the FNP.

The FNP, which comprises around 20% of Petrobras workers, and the Single Federation of Oil Workers (FUP), which had previously ended the strike, signed the ACT on the 30th. This Friday, the 2nd, a dispute was scheduled at the Superior Labor Court (TST), in Brasília, which was avoided with the agreement.
