attended the
opening table,
representing women
of the chemical
branch of CUT.
Cibele Vieira, coordinator of the Unified Trade Union and secretary of trade union
education and policies of CNQ-CUT, talked about the importance of organization of
female oil workers. This room today, filled with dozens of women, is extremely
representative and it is a huge achievement for female oil workers. Each day more
companies are uniting, participating in debates and fighting for their rights in society, she
emphasized.

Lucineide Varjo, president of CNQ, reaffirmed the importance of union and participation
of women in the trade union movement and made a defiance to the coordinator of FUP: this
organization will enable the fact that, who knows, in the next FUP congress there is a women
in the board of directors of the federation, she said.
According to Anaclie Azevedo, coordinator of FUPs Womens Collective, the
Petrobras System currently employs 17% female workers. Women are facing the job
market. The numbers are growing exponentially. And we perform a hard work of organization
to empower women and make them visible to society, she stated.
Lucimar Rodrigues, secretary of CNQs department of the Female Worker, attended
the debates of the second day, and Flavia Nozue, advisor of the confederation,
promoted a workshop for the participants of the meeting. (With information from Alessandra
Campos. Communication Advisor of the Unified Sindipetro, Sao Paulo).

These data were compiled based on official numbers, of notifications made by companies,
when workers are linked to the Social Security. Informal and self-employed workers are out of
these statistics, besides public servants.
Due to the advance of the Law Project 4330, which increases outsourcing in Brazil for core
activities, under the Congress (recently it was approved in the Chamber of Deputies), Junia
Martins Batista, secretary of CUTs Department of Workers health, warns: It is a wild
mechanism, which allows companies to increase working shifts and the rhythm of work,
reducing salaries and also exposing workers to risk situations.
To Junia, if this Law Project becomes a reality in Brazil, it will certainly create even more
accidents and the numbers already point out to this reality. Seven accidents out of ten are
related to outsourced workers. Electric and oil sectors are those in which more accidents and
deaths have occurred.
In 2011, out of 79 deaths that took place in the Brazilian electric sector, 61 were deaths of
outsourced workers. From 2005 to 2012, 14 workers of Petrobras died in accidents at work. In
the same period, 85 outsourced workers died. Data are from the study Terceirizao e
Desenvolvimento, uma conta que no fecha (Outsourcing and Development, an account that does
not match), from CUT in a partnership with Dieese, presented in November 2014
Manual para la
Reduccin de
Riesgo Qumico
CNQ Internacional
Tens of thousands are used in Latin American workplaces without proper tests being
carried out on effects on health and the environment. Thousands are carcinogenic,
mutagenic, toxic to reproduction, and are irritants. Many of these provoke illnesses and
kill workers in this continent - workers who are only looking to earn their daily bread.
Advances in knowledge are needed to protect ourselves and the manual that we are
launching looks to fill that gap. It is a simple tool that can be used across the continent
by different Health and Safety at Work committees, those responsible for occupational
health in national centres, union training institutes and also labour inspectors.
