In Solidarity with Portuguese Trade Unions and Workers
The EESC Workers' Group stands in solidarity with the two Portuguese trade unions CGTP (General Confederation of Portuguese Workers) and UGTP (Union of the General Workers) who have called for a General Strike on 11 December 2025 to protest against the government's proposed labour law reforms.
The proposed changes, which include measures to make dismissals easier and working hours more flexible, represent a brutal setback for workers' rights.
We fully support the Portuguese unions and workers in their fight for fairness, social dialogue and the protection of their labour rights.
We join their call that workers must not be forced to bear the heaviest burden of the government's decisions in the name of competitiveness.
In solidarity,
Lucie Studničná
