Brazil strike chaos
Description
PLEASE NOTE: EDIT CONTAINS MATERIAL THAT WAS ORIGINALLY 4:3
Brazil's already seen a wave of protests in the run-up to next month's World Cup...now it's suffering crippling strikes.
Bus drivers and fare collectors in Sao Paulo walked out for a second day on Wednesday throwing the city into chaos.
Vehicles were abandoned on major roads and 15 major bus terminals were shut down.
The workers are unhappy about a pay rise that's been approved by their own union.
Local authorities estimated about 230, 000 commuters were affected by the strike.
It wasn't the nation's only industrial headache.
On the same same day civil police in several areas including the capital, Brasilia, also went on strike.
They're demanding better pay and conditions and new safety measures.
