Workers at Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP) are on the second and final day of a strike today, with minimum services having been decreed.

In a note sent to Lusa about the impacts of this strike on CP, the company states that in the urban connections of Lisbon, of the 215 planned, 146 were removed, and in the long-distance connections, 25 were scheduled and 19 were removed.

The company also indicates that of the 438 trains scheduled, 154 were carried out, all with minimum services.

On Tuesday, the first day of the strike, 798 trains were suspended, out of an estimated total of 1,086, with only the minimum services being carried out between 00:00 and 19:00, according to CP.

The president of Aprofer – Trade Union Association of Railway Command and Control Professionals, Adriano Filipe, told Lusa on Tuesday that the strike, which covers IP operations, command, control, information, circulation management and railway conservation workers , is related to the working conditions and salaries of the profession.

“The reasons for this strike are the same” as the strike that had been called for September 2022, he recalled, indicating that IP had committed to negotiating an agreement, but this has not happened since then.

On strike days, minimum services are guaranteed, with Alfa Pendular and Intercidades, Regional, InterRegional and International, Porto Urban Trains, Coimbra Urban Trains and Lisbon Urban Trains expected to circulate.
