More than a million demonstrated against the event last year, claiming it was a waste of money to a corrupt organisation when people are living in suallor.
Airport staff at Rio de Janeiro's Galeao airport voted to stage a 24-hour strike in a row over pay.Baggage handlers and check-in staff will join colleagues at the city's Santos Dumont airport - an important hub for flights to Sao Paulo, where England play Uruguay next week - in downing tools.
