CP train strike planned for Friday 30 October has been called off
The strike by ticket inspectors and ticket office staff at CP (Comboios de Portugal, the national rail company), planned for Friday 30 October, has been called off. The union, SFRCI, withdrew its strike notice after a meeting on Tuesday with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Housing and CP's management, which it said brought "positive developments".
The workers want better pay for working on rest days, publication of their pay agreements, a review of their company agreement and career rules, and more protection against assaults on staff.
The union says it has not dropped its demands. If the talks do not bring concrete results, it may call new strikes.
