An airline rep at BSB told us that the workers were wearing white, rather than the traditional PT red.

On the practical side, if you might be affected, contact your airline and keep in mind that since the delay is by airport workres, not the airline, this could affect compensation from your airline for a delayed or canceled flight. I'm wondering if the BSB strike can continue as the legislators try to head back home for their traditional extended weekend tonight.
Strike ended at 11am Brazilian time today.
