Strikes

Unions cancel partial Lisbon Metro strikes planned for Wednesday and Friday

The partial strikes scheduled for Wednesday 28 October and Friday 30 October have been called off by union representatives following the Arbitral Tribunal's ruling on minimum services. Unions stated that the mandated minimum services match the company's request and would compromise the safety of passengers and workers.

Why it matters

If you planned to commute on the Lisbon Metro on Wednesday 28 October or Friday 30 October, the partial strikes have been cancelled, so normal train services will run.
