The Metalworkers Union of Taubaté had already announced a 3-day stoppage that should start on Monday (June 26). The group justifies the decision because of the maintenance of the Selic, basic interest rate, at 13.75% per year at the last meeting of the Copom (Monetary Policy Committee).
“The automotive market is one of those that most feel the impact of high interest rates, since most sales in the sector are made through financing”says one announcement of the Union.
