"Due
to a strike, convened by various organisations representing workers, severe
disturbances are expected in the movement of trains, at a national level, in
the period between 00:00 on February 8, 2023, and 24:00 on February 21, 2023
".
CP
also adds that the "Arbitration Court of the Economic and Social Council
did not decree minimum services for this period of strikes".
The
company also notes that "customers who already have tickets purchased to travel
on Alfa Pendular, Intercidades, Internacional, Interregional and Regional
services trains" may request a "refund, for the total amount of the
ticket purchased, or its free revalidation to another train of the same
category and in the same class".
Fectrans
announced, on January 25, that workers from CP and Infraestruturas de Portugal
(IP) will be on strike on February 9 due to the lack of response to salary
enhancement proposals.
At
issue is the lack of response from the two companies to the salary enhancement
proposals.
For
the unions, the submitted proposals "fall far short" of the values
needed to restore workers' purchasing power.
