That is how it went last year just before the Carnival. And that is what happened last year when the teachers stopped working also. After 2 weeks protesting they got 15% more salary. And now they want again 15% more salary
I predict there is a 95% change the military police will go on strike just before the worldcup.
And they are right. Corruption is astonishing here. The mayor of a big city didn't pay governemnt people for 3 months (teachers/police/garbage collectors) and went away with millions. Leaving the city with hundreds milions of debts so they had to cancel carnival. Is normal in Brazil, nobody is surprised. Look at most international companies that try to start in Brazil, a lot of them stop after some years due to corruption.
But tehre are only a few protests, nothing to worry about. I hope things will change, but the corruption will go on for some more decades.
