"Journalists from O Globo, Valor Econômico and other media companies protested on Wed. May 25, in Brasília because of a salary reconfiguration. According to the Union of Journalists of the Federal District, the companies' proposal means a salary readjustment of 5%, paid in installments and without back pay. Protesters cited high inflation in Brazil to justify the protest and a "fight against the attempt by companies to impose losses of 7%," the union said. Journalists from Rio de Janeiro also carried out strikes."
