Frente Comum

Frente Comum de Sindicatos da Administração Pública (common front of civil service unions)
An alliance of unions representing people who work for the state: teachers, health workers, staff of government agencies and town councils. It belongs to the CGTP confederation. Every year it negotiates civil service pay with the government, and it calls nationwide civil service strikes.
Where you come across it. News about strikes in schools, hospitals, the tax office, Segurança Social and town councils, and about civil servants' pay and the budget.
On its strike days, public offices operate as best they can: what closes depends on how many staff turn up. If you have an appointment that day, check it in advance.
