The march against the “boss’s” labor package organized by CGTP today led thousands of workers to descend Avenida da Liberdade, in Lisbon, protesting against the changes to the labor law proposed by the Government of Luís Montenegro.
Under the motto “All to Lisbon”, the demonstration called by the trade union central led by Tiago Oliveira began with two pre-concentrations in the capital: public sector workers gathered in Amoreiras and private sector workers in Saldanha, both of which ended in Marquês de Pombal.
At the demonstration, slogans were chanted such as “we are not going to give up, the package is about to fall” and “the labor package is ordered by the boss, there is nothing to cheat, it is to increase exploitation”.
Holding flags from various unions and organizations and posters reading phrases such as “no to the labor package, another path is possible”, people of all ages walked down Avenida da Liberdade to gather at Restauradores, where several CGTP figures spoke.
