Portugal is bracing for a day of transport disruption. A nationwide general strike, planned for June 3, 2026, called by CGTP, the main Portuguese trade union confederation (Confederação Geral dos Trabalhadores Portugueses – Intersindical Nacional), could significantly disrupt flights, trains, metros, ferries and bus networks across the country, just weeks ahead of the peak tourism season.

According to the Portuguese public broadcaster RTP Notícias, the Federation of Transport and Communications Unions says that “all transport companies” are mobilized and that strike notices have already been filed.

The disruptions are expected to affect: the national railway company CP, and suburban trains, as well as metros, ferries, and urban buses in Lisbon and Porto.


Disruptions Expected in Public Transport

Air transport could also be heavily affected. The SNPVAC union, representing the cabin crew, has confirmed its participation in the social movement. According to RTP, TAP, Ryanair and easyJet flights could be disrupted.

Several Portuguese media outlets report up to 500 flights affected. The French-language magazine based in Portugal, Vivre le Portugal, which relays information from SIC Notícias, indicates that TAP could be particularly affected.

This mobilization aims to protest the government’s reform of labor law. The unions denounce, in particular, measures that facilitate dismissals and loosen certain subcontracting rules.
