SAO PAULO, BRAZIL — Union officials say offshore oil workers have ended their five-day strike.
The Sindipetro-NF union says workers returned to their jobs as scheduled on Saturday without reaching a deal with Brazil’s state oil company.
The workers went on strike to demand an extra day off for every two-week shift they work on the platforms.
The striking workers rejected the offer by state-run Petroleo Brasileiro SA for overtime pay instead of the extra day off.
The union on Saturday said workers may strike again Aug. 5 if Petrobras fails to agree to their demands. Petrobras said contingency workers helped prevent the strike from affecting production levels.
