Lisbon Metro Strike on December 3: What You Need to Know

Overview of the Upcoming Strike

The Lisbon Metro has expressed regret over the inconvenience caused to its customers due to a strike called by Workers' Representative Organizations scheduled for the morning of Tuesday, December 3. The company has made every effort to prevent this disruption and remains committed to ongoing negotiations with workers to resolve these issues.

Negotiation Efforts

In a negotiation meeting held on Monday, December 2, the Lisbon Metro presented concrete and credible proposals to the unions, addressing the demands for the years 2023 and beyond concerning most of the variable compensations under discussion (four out of seven situations). The company also proposed to continue negotiations on other variables and for the revision of the Career Regulations, as previously suggested.

Union Response

Unfortunately, this willingness from the Lisbon Metro to find balanced solutions for all parties involved was not met with the necessary acceptance from the unions, despite the progress made and the constructive spirit that characterized the negotiations.

Future Expectations

The Lisbon Metro regrets that, despite its efforts, an agreement could not be reached that would lead to an immediate improvement in the working conditions of its employees and prevent the disruptions caused by the strike for its customers. The Metro hopes that the upcoming meeting for continued negotiations will result in a structural and lasting understanding.

Current Status

The Lisbon Metro reiterates that, at this moment, there are no outstanding debts or late payments to its employees.
