The letter is signed by presidents Sérgio Nobre, of CUT (Central Única dos Trabalhadores); Miguel Torres, from Força Sindical; Ricardo Patah, from UGT (General Workers Union); Adilson Araújo, from CTB (Central dos Trabalhadores do Brasil); Antonio Neto, from CSB (Central dos Sindicatos Brasileiros); Sonia Zerino, from NCST (New Workers Union Central); José Gozze, from Pública; and Nilza Pereira, general secretary of Intersindical.
