The President of the Northern Regional Directorate of the Order of Economists, Carlos Brito, stated that the economic impact of the strike could “range from 600 to 700 million euros”. He noted that “the sectors most affected will be those that rely more heavily on the physical presence of workers”, while “on the other hand, in labor struggles, it is known that unions tend to focus more on those sectors with greater impact on the daily lives of Portuguese people”.
“Transport is perhaps the most paradigmatic case, with stoppages that will affect millions of journeys, including many people who initially did not intend to participate in the strike,” he mentioned. For a detailed overview of what is expected this Thursday, please check this article.
