Nurses organised two country-wide strikes on 14 and 21 November, whereas a strike by ticket inspectors and ticket clerks halted trains across Portugal on 24 November. The workers are protesting the ongoing cuts in the public sector, endangering both working conditions and the quality of services. The nurses’ strike went ahead despite a call by the health ministry to cancel it in light of a major legionella outbreak.
