FNE — Federação Nacional da Educação (national education federation)

One of the largest federations of unions of teachers and school staff; it belongs to the UGT. Together with other teachers' unions, it discusses school laws, pay and teacher recruitment with the Ministry of Education.

Where you come across it. News about schools, teacher shortages, teachers' strikes.
A union's position is not a decision: school laws are passed by the government and parliament.
