Strike Disrupts COP30 Summit Construction in Belem

Strike Disrupts COP30 Summit Construction in Belem

Imagine a big meeting of world leaders in Brazil, called COP30, to talk about climate change.

Workers building the hotels and meeting places for this event have stopped working because they want a pay raise.

The buildings for the leaders are only partially finished.

The strike might cause delays, but the government hopes the buildings will be ready in time for the meeting.

Other hotel projects were also affected, but those workers agreed with their employers and went back to work.

The construction union is negotiating the pay raise.
