JUSTICE AGREED TO RELEASE RATCHES
Earlier this Thursday (March 23), the TRT had rejected an injunction, at the request of the Metro, to set a minimum number of trains to operate in the event of a strike. The decision accepted the release of turnstiles, a method proposed by the workers’ union to rule out the possibility of harm to the population.
“According to the rapporteur judge for the decision, Eliane Aparecida da Silva Pedroso, in this way there is no reduction in the offer of transport services to the community, contrary to what was proposed by the employers’ union. In the magistrate’s opinion, a strike is a nuisance and aims to mobilize society around the demands and needs of a community”, TRT said in a statement.
