"Given the gravity of the content and the government's schedule, with meetings already scheduled for next month, the CGTP-IN considers it essential to move forward with informing workers and holding a day of struggle in September, signalling the immediate rejection of the labour package and the mobilization and action to defeat it," CGTP Secretary General Tiago Oliveira announced.

Speaking at a press conference in Porto, the leader of the trade union called for everyone to join together “in the fight to reject the labour package,” which he says “assaults workers’ rights” and “affronts the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic.”
