The Portuguese Union of Port Administration Workers (SNTAP) declared a series of strikes in June that would impact all ports in the country.

According to a statement issued by the SNTAP, the reasons for the strike include failure to fulfil the union's salary increase proposal. The union added that port administrations have been unresponsive to meeting requests and disregarded workers' demands.

A series of 48-hour strikes is planned on the following days:

• 4 and 5 June
• 8 and 9 June
• 12 and 13 June
• 18 and 19 June
• 27 and 28 June

In a conversation with local media, Serafim Gomes, President of SNTAP, said that a nationwide strike action could have significant repercussions.

However, he emphasized that minimum services would be guaranteed, but limitations on supplies from the mainland were expected.
