“Following the major general strike on December 11, where workers made their voices heard and loudly affirmed their rejection of the labour package and demanded its withdrawal, the CGTP-IN decided to schedule a demonstration for January 13, 2026, starting at 2:30pm at Camões Square and proceeding to São Bento,” reads the statement.

In commitment to the workers and within the framework of the actions against the labour package, “the CGTP-IN has developed a petition over the last few months where thousands of workers were contacted, informed, and mobilised.”

"Tens of thousands of workers, through their signatures, have expressed their rejection of this assault on their rights and working conditions, and these signatures will be delivered to the Prime Minister on January 13," the statement emphasises.
