Perhaps the Union should push for a 'class action' .....

then EVERY company involved in any acccidental release in a 'Brasilian' oilfield should be banned from engaging in 'Brasilian' oil extraction, transportation, refining, distribution and sales.

This way Brasil doesn't have to go through the same process every time a spill takes place.

Hang on ....... this would mean ....

More morons to the fore.

This time, 300,000 'workers' in the oil industry NONE of whom work for the companies in question.

Political bullshit anyone.

AND, I thought Brasil was getting its act together. Ah well, back to the drawing board.
