“We announce the holding of a general strike against the labour package,” said the Secretary-General of the CGTP, Tiago Oliveira.

Tiago Oliveira said that “with a position already taken or in the final decision-making process by many union structures, it was possible to establish convergence for a general strike on December 11.”

Although he did not mention other union structures, it was reported this Friday by Expresso that the UGT would also join this general strike.

The Secretary-General of the CGTP (General Confederation of Portuguese Workers) stated that "the greater the attack, the greater the response from the workers".
