Key deadline passes in Petrobras wage talks without agreement
In this article:
RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Brazilian state-run oil firm Petroleo Brasileiro SA has failed to reach a new labor agreement with the company's main unions by a Sept. 30 deadline, Petrobras said on Tuesday.
In a securities filing, Petrobras, as the company is known, said the current contract had also expired, a development that could increase the likelihood of strikes.
