Detran-RJ Strike Disrupts Driving Tests and Vehicle Services Across Rio State

Overview

• Deltan-RJ workers are on an open-ended strike that leaves about 70% of the workforce off the job for civil-servant roles, while civil identification counters continue with contractor staff.
• Driving exams for Brazil’s CNH license were canceled in several locations, with candidates reporting no examiners at sites such as Sepetiba and the Aerotown post in Barra da Tijuca.
• The agency said an attempted cyberattack caused instability in licensing and vehicle systems, and it reports online services are back up with a formal investigation under way.
• Detran-RJ will reschedule canceled road tests, and users who missed service can return to the same unit within five business days without booking a new slot.
• The union cites broken furniture, poor ventilation, and delays on a court-mandated career-and-pay plan, while the agency says it raised benefits, is advancing the plan, and remains in talks.
