According to The Los Angeles Times, the company that runs the subway system in São Paulo, which is hosting the World Cup’s opening match in less than a week says that all five of its lines are operating either partially or normally as workers enter the third day of a strike demanding higher wages.
The subway strike brought much of São Paulo to a halt on Thursday (June 5), as workers demanding higher wages shut down public transportation in South America’s largest city a week before it hosts the World Cup’s opening match.
A partial metro shutdown created massive traffic jams in one of the more disruptive of the urban protests that have been commonplace across Brazil in recent weeks. The strike is expected to continue Friday (June 6), though Mayor Fernando Haddad gave assurances that the dispute would be resolved before next week’s opening match.
