Brazilian riot police on Monday
used tear gas against protesters in Sao Paulo three days before
the World Cup's opening game in the main stadium there.
The protest was called by Sao Paulo metro workers who are
striking in support of a 12.2% salary increase.
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has said she will not
let violent demonstrations mar the World Cup.
Sao Paulo metro workers have been on strike since Thursday,
creating traffic chaos in one of the world's most congested
cities.
