DailyTalki #19 - Has the Truckers' Strike Ended? The general truckers' strike in Brazil lasted 9 days. In some states, they are continuing in the streets, but not for a long time. Many companies have been badly affected during this time and a lot of others have closed their doors for a while. If you don't know, in Brazil, we had no fuel. No gasoline, alcohol, diesel, and anything that can be considered fuel. Absolutely nothing. Zero. All the gas stations in Brazil were closed. It badly affected almost all states. The truckers were protesting about diesel's prices because the price of the diesel was being changed every time, so they were on the streets in an attempt to reduce the fuel's price. Final result: The truckers win the "fight", but not the "war". The price of diesel was reduced, meanwhile, the price of gasoline remained high. There were several demonstrations and protests, trying to convince the cars and motorcycles not to fuel using the slogan: "Não vai abastecer", which mean more or less "Don't go fuel". If I had more information, I'll like to write a report here for all of you
