Hundreds of PSP police and GNR guards held a national protest in Lisbon on Thursday, 29 October, to demand salary increases, career revisions, and better working conditions. Representatives from the ASPP and APG unions are delivering a document of demands to the Prime Minister, citing a lack of concrete proposals from the government during current negotiations.
The CGTP trade union federation has scheduled a national demonstration for 21 November. The protest aims to address labour and social policy demands.
Diagnostic and therapeutic technicians at the Amadora-Sintra Local Health Unit (ULS) are striking today, 29 October, with participation rates reported between 80% and 100%. The strike, which includes a demonstration outside the Ministry of Health between 11:00 and 14:00, is intended to demand the application of the Collective Work Agreement (ACT) to workers on individual contracts to address salary and career progression disparities. Essential services, such as medical imaging, clinical analysis, and pharmacy, are operating under mandated minimum services.
