Lusa - Business News - Portugal: Rail strikes from today until end of April

Lisbon, March.28,2023(Lusa)- Several unions on Tuesday began new strikes in the railway sector, which will cover the Portuguese railways operator, CP, and the country's road and rail infrastructure company, Infraestruturas de Portugal,IP, until the end of next month, including a 24-hour strike on 6 April.
According to a statement issued by a platform of unions representing CP and IP, the protests will start today with a "protest blackout", i.e. a stoppage at IP and CP from 10am to 11am.
From today to April 4 there will be a strike at IP from 00:00 to 02:00 and until April 30 the unions are on strike at IP and CP after the eighth hour of work, according to the same statement.
In addition, between today and 30 April "in CP, workers whose normal working hours cover more than three hours during the period between 00:00 and 05:00, will go on strike from the seventh hour of duty" and between 10 and 30 April, at IP, "workers whose normal working hours cover more than three hours during the period between 00:00 and 05:00, will go on strike from the seventh hour of service".
On April 6, the strike will be for 24 hours.
The trade unions that make up this platform are ASCEF - Trade Union Association of Intermediate Managers of Railway Operations; SINFB - National Union of Brakemen and Similar Railway Workers; SINFA - Independent Union of Railway, Infrastructure and Similar Workers; FENTECOP - National Trade Union of Transport, Communications and Public Works; SIOFA - Independent Trade Union of Railway and Allied Workers; ASSIFECO - Independent Trade Union Association of Commercial Railway Workers; and STF - Technical Railway Services.
According to the statement, the unions predict disruptions in the circulation of trains on CP, Fertagus, Medway and Takargo.
"The strikes will affect the conservation and maintenance of railways and roadways, as well as the maintenance of trains and the entire operation of the companies mentioned," they said.
According to the unions, "on 6 April, if minimum services are not decreed, no trains are expected to run in Portugal".
"The responsibility for the financial and social impact of these forms of struggle will be the full responsibility of the government which, by not negotiating with the unions, disregards the IP and CP workers and disrespects the Portuguese citizens who use rail transportation on a daily basis", they lament.
The National Union of Train Drivers of Portuguese Railways (SMAQ) has also announced a new strike at CP, during the whole month of April, due to the "autistic attitude and disregard" of which it accuses the company.
