Public administration strike closes "many schools" from north to south

"At 8:30 am we had the indication that many schools are closed from north to south of the country, but we still don't have concrete data", said the coordinator of the Common Front of Public Administration Unions.
Sebastião Santana said he expects a large adherence to the strike also in health and central services, namely courts, Social Security and tax offices.
"We also know that there is already a large mobilization of workers who are traveling to Lisbon for the day of struggle for today's afternoon gathering at the Ministry of Finance, in Lisbon", he said, adding that thousands of people are expected.
The reasons for going on strike and protesting have increased, according to Sebastião Santana, with the arrival of the new Government and the content of its program.
"On the day we learned that the supervision of the public administration would remain at the Ministry of Finance, we delivered our list of demands and so far we have not had any response", the union leader previously told Lusa, stating that one of the priorities of this list is an interim salary increase of at least 15%, with a minimum of 150 euros per worker, "because workers cannot go without any increase until 2025".
Sebastião Santana also pointed out that if at the end of October, when the State Budget proposal for 2024 (OE2024) was approved, there were reasons for the workers to go on strike, these reasons are now even greater because "the problems have only worsened".
In addition to the salary increases, which include the increase, during 2024, to 1,000 of the minimum wage in the State, the Common Front also demands changes in careers and in the performance evaluation system, as well as measures to strengthen public services.
For Sebastião Santana, "in public services, what is expected is the opening of doors to the private sector" in sectors such as health and Social Security, that is, an "absolute disfigurement of the public administration" that workers cannot accept.
