Agreement fails and CP strike continues in May

The unions representing workers at CP – Comboios de Portugal did not reach an agreement with the company and are maintaining the strike scheduled for May 7 and 8, José Manuel Oliveira, from Fectrans, told Lusa. According to the coordinator of the Federation of Transport and Communications Unions (Fectrans), “there was no agreement or possibility of evolution” at today’s meeting, after the structures had presented a strike notice for those days.…

The unions explained that the strike was called “against the imposition of wage increases, which do not restore purchasing power”, and for the “collective bargaining of decent wage increases”.
