The Goiânia City Hall initially sought legal action to block a planned strike by administrative education workers, which the Sintego union had approved to begin on August 17. The municipal administration argued the strike was illegal and would disrupt services for approximately 120,000 students. To avoid the stoppage, the city proposed a salary restructuring plan spanning 2026 to 2030, citing fiscal and contractual limits. Following the commencement of the strike on August 17, the Court of Justice of Goiás (TJ-GO) intervened, ordering the City Hall to present a new proposal to the striking workers by August 21. The court mandated that this proposal be developed alongside the Sintego union's negotiation commission and other municipal representatives. In response, Sintego rescheduled its assembly for August 24 to allow workers to review the new document. By late August, the municipal government announced it would penalize administrative education workers who fail to comply with a court order to maintain at least 70% staffing levels in schools. Judge Augusto Ventura of the TJ-GO mandated these minimum operational levels, noting that failure to comply subjects the Sintego union to a daily fine of R$ 5,000, with potential total penalties reaching R$ 100,000. The administration stated that negotiations have ended, claiming the movement has become influenced by “political-electoral interests.” ~~The~~ As the strike entered its 13th day, services were disrupted, including the total paralysis of six Municipal Early Childhood Education Centers (Cmeis).
