Petrobras Plans Voluntary Layoffs

摘要

Brazil's state-run oil company Petrobras has launched a voluntary layoff plan that could involve about 10% of its employees, the workers' union said on Friday. The plan, which was announced by the company earlier on Friday, is part of efforts by the Brazilian oil company to streamline costs and increase productivity. Brazil's National Oilworkers' Federation (FUP) said in a statement the plan is aimed at 8,379 workers from a total of 85,000, adding that many of them have already retired but continue to work at the company.
