CONSEQUENCE OF THE IMPOSED AUSTERITY
Portugal 24 November: General Strike
Following the agreement signed with the IMF/EU/ECB Troika, Portugal is confronted with a new and more severe austerity programme, unprecedented since the inauguration of democracy.
Against exploitation and impoverishment, for jobs, salaries, rights and public services !
General Strike jointly organised by:
UGT Portugal and CGTP-IN
{{THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES }}
Against exploitation and impoverishment, for a developed and sovereign Portugal, for jobs, salaries, rights, public services
Portugal needs a different policy
• Renegotiation of deadlines' debt, interest rates and amounts;
• Policy that promotes growth and jobs with rights;
• Enhancing the productive sector and pay and pension rises;
• Ensuring the protection and strengthening of the state's social duties and public services;
• Valuing work and respecting workers.
The ETUC expresses its solidarity and full support with the day of action
