"Journalists at IstoÉ Publicações, a publishing group that includes the brands IstoÉ, Dinheiro, Gente, Motorshow, Planeta, Menu and Dinheiro Rural, declared a strike this Thursday [May 14] due to constant delays in the payment of wages and benefits.
The problem occurs in the midst of scandals involving Entre Investimentos e Participações, of businessman Antônio Carlos Freixo Junior, owner company of IstoÉ Publications [...].
According to a source of Portal dos Jornalistas, due to the legal problems faced by the businessman, his assets and those of the business group are blocked, making it impossible not only to pay employees, but also basic services such as the email provider and the platform for the publication of content on the publications' sites, which remain un-updated since last Monday [May 11]. 'We only have access to social networks, but we can't publish new articles,' said an employee who preferred not to identify himself."
