Against labor reforms/ Portugal prepares for first general strike in 12 years

Portugal is preparing for its first general strike in 12 years, set to begin this week.

Unions are protesting against labor reforms that are expected to disrupt transportation, schools, hospitals, and other services.

Unions are planning a nationwide strike on Thursday, December 11, 2025, to oppose the government's new jobs package.

The center-right says it wants to bring more flexibility to the labor market, while unions argue the plan weakens key protections, from dismissal rules to support for mothers and women who suffer miscarriages.

Many workers recall similar pressure during the Troika years. Some employees say the current reforms feel like a throwback to that period.

The 24-hour strike is expected to slow down public transport, schools, hospitals and airports./CNA
