Portugal: Unionized metro workers plan partial strike in Lisbon 05:00-10:00 Dec. 10
Unionized metro workers to strike in Lisbon, Portugal, 05:00-10:00 Dec. 10. Service disruptions likely.
Unionized workers at the Metropolitano de Lisboa plan to conduct a partial strike 05:00-10:00 Dec. 10. The work stoppage, organized by the FECTRANS and STRUP unions, is being held to demand better working conditions. Officials have advised passengers that normal services should resume by 10:30.
Unless averted, the strike is likely to cause train service disruptions. Increased demand for alternative forms of transport is probable. Residual disruptions may occur after the strike ends. While organizers did not announce any protest plans, workers could picket at stations across the city.
Reconfirm train schedules the morning of Dec. 10. Consider alternative transport options if necessary. Allow additional time for travel. As a standard precaution, avoid protests.
