Protest march on pay and conditions

Portugal

(November 2016) On 18 November, local government union STAL and other trade unions in the CGTP confederation will mobilise for a national march calling for a reversal of the austerity measures imposed on public service workers. The key demands include restoration of pay for workers with salaries above EUR 1500, unblocking of career progression and a return to the 35-hour week for those groups of workers who remain on the 40-hour week imposed as part of austerity. Unions in the UGT confederation, with similar demands took their protests to the prime minister on 17 November.
