On the 1st of May, a demonstration called by the União dos Sindicatos do Algarve/CGTP-IN begins at 10 am, next to the municipal market in Faro, and ends on the lawn next to the municipal theater, with a union intervention and a cultural moment in charge of the Volta and Meia.
In a statement, this organization manifests “a profound injustice in the distribution of wealth, the
employers use labor legislation to increase exploitation, boycott collective bargaining and attack rights”.
The União dos Sindicatos do Algarve/CGTP-IN demand the urgency of “a general and significant increase in wages; the valorization of careers and professions; the increase in the national minimum wage to €1000, during the year 2024; the repeal of harsh labor legislation standards and the end of the expiry of collective bargaining; the reduction of working hours to 35 hours, without loss of pay; the regulation of working hours, including continuous work and shift work; the fight against precariousness; the increase in retirement pensions; investment in public services and guaranteeing the right to housing”.
USAL/CGTP-IN “giving expression to the fair demands of workers, retirees and pensioners”, calls on all workers to the great day of struggle on May 1st – International Workers’ Day”, they conclude.
