Prison services technicians on strike today for better conditions

The Union of Technicians of the Directorate-General for Reintegration and Prison Services (SinDGRSP) is holding a one-day strike this Tuesday, October 6, 2026. The action includes a demonstration at the Porto Prison Establishment (EPP) between 11:00 and 13:00 to protest that recent government career and risk supplement regulations fall short of previous agreements.

Why it mattersThis is a targeted union action by prison service technicians; while it may cause operational delays within the DGRSP, it is unlikely to directly disrupt the daily life of the general public.
