Ground handlers at several of Portugal’s main airports are poised to walk out as part of a national dispute over pay and working conditions.
Workers employed by SPdH (Groundforce) will strike over 31 August and 1 September, with the Portuguese Transport Workers’ Union (Sstamp) warning of “severe constraints” at major airports.
“If [the strike] were to take place, it would certainly cause severe constraints at national airports, particularly Porto and Lisbon, the effects of which are currently unpredictable,” said the union in a statement.
