New York, NY January 27, 2012 New York City office cleaners ratified a four-year agreement with the Realty Advisory Board on Tuesday that provides a 5.6% wage increase over the life of the contract and bonuses totaling $1,100.00.

The Brazilian multinational energy corporation Petrobras is to hire its first ever female chief executive.

“Gracas Foster is extremely qualified for this post and will certainly command Petrobras with the same brilliance with which she has conducted her entire career.”
The 58-year-olds story is a classic rag to riches tale, born in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, working as a waste collector from the age of eight.
