Zeentech Workers Strike at Alstom Taubaté Over 400 LayoffsWorkers from Zeentech, a third-party company providing industrial services within Alstom's complex in Taubaté, São Paulo, initiated a strike on Wednesday morning. The work stoppage was approved in an assembly held around 6 a.m., coinciding with the employees' scheduled start time.
The strike follows the recent confirmation that Zeentech will cease operations in the city and lay off approximately 400 workers by the end of May. Employees rejected a compensation proposal presented by the company, leading to the industrial action.
The strike by Zeentech workers is expected to impact Alstom's production, as the striking employees are directly involved in operational stages of the train manufacturing process.
