kscarbel2 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Automotive Business / October 18, 2016 A two week long strike which has curtailed Volvo's truck and bus chassis production in Brazil since Tuesday, October 4, has ended. The workers at the plant in Curitiba accepted the offer of reconciliation made by Volvo and voted in secrecy. The workers will each receive a net allowance of R $ 5,000 to offset the increase of only 50% of inflation measured by the INPC, National Index of Consumer Prices.They also agreed to postpone the discussion of the base date for September 2017 and accepted the increase of 9.62% in food stamps (R $ 419 to R $ 460).The strike began because the workers had at first refused the adjustment of 50% of the INPC. Volvo’s Curitiba plant employs about 3,200 workers, with 1,800 in production. According to the union, the plant was producing around 35 heavy trucks, 12 medium trucks and 5 buses every day before the strike. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
