Brazil: Bus workers plan to strike in Goiania June 28

Bus workers in Goiania affiliated with the Intermunicipal Union of Public and Urban Transport Workers of Goiania and Metropolitan Region (Sindicato Intermunicipal dos Trabalhadores do Transporte Coletivo e Urbano de Goiania e Regiao Metropolitana, SINDCOLETIVO) announced plans to strike on June 28 to demand better working conditions and a salary increase. Bus services in the Goiania Metropolitan Area are likely to be suspended from 00:01 June 28 unless the union reaches an agreement with employers. The organizers have not confirmed the strike's duration, but the action could last several days.

Related protests are possible, though none have been confirmed as yet. In addition to the direct impact on public transport in Goiania, the walkout is likely to result in increased traffic congestion and demand for taxis, app-based ride-sharing, and metro services.
