Workers’ living conditions: the labour package, wages and rights

Workers’ living conditions: the labour package, wages and rights

The life of the workers, the reality of the Country, and the ongoing attack on their rights through the Labour package: this is the theme of the parliamentary question we are putting to the Government today.  A process that takes place against a backdrop of growing hardship for the general public, who are facing rising prices that threaten to persist and worsen, increasing difficulties in accessing public services, particularly healthcare, and difficulties in accessing housing due to speculation encouraged by the Government. 

A Call for the General Strike

A Call for the General Strike

The Government, employers, Chega and the Liberal Initiative thought they could increase precariousness, further deregulate working hours, further oppress the lives of working people, dismiss without just cause, and that everyone would simply accept this as normal.

15 Reasons to General Strike

General Strike - June 3, 2026

15 Reasons to General Strike

They say labour laws are outdated and need to be "more flexible", thinking of young people. They say it's not worth fighting. They raise prices; they deregulate working hours; they don't even want to hear about increasing wages and pensions; they never stop profiting from the war and from your work. They are the economic groups. For you, who live out of your work, there is no shortage of reasons to say enough is enough, to join the General Strike on June 3. It is necessary to defeat this Labour Package as a whole and each of its measures.

What's at Stake

General Strike - June 3, 2026

What's at Stake

Wages squeezed by colossal profits Colossal profits and struggling workers, but the Government wants to further aggravate low wages and devalue professions and careers:

March "Comply with the Constitution. Raise wages and pensions, for a better life"

Comply with the Constitution. Raise wages and pensions, for a better life

26 June 2025

A warm welcome to all those present at this great initiative. “Comply with the Constitution, raise wages and pensions, for a better life”, this is the path we propose, and which is necessary to serve what matters and what matters is the life of those who work, those who have worked a lifetime and the youth. The march that we are holding here in Lisbon, but also at the same time in Porto, is an important moment of resistance, of affirmation of freedom and democracy, but also of hope and affirmation of the alternative that the Country needs.

PCP warns about the serious decisions of NATO summit

26 June 2025

After a very intense campaign aimed at justifying the arms race to public opinion, the meeting of NATO Heads of State and Prime Ministers held in The Hague on June 25 has just confirmed and formalised decisions at the highest level that worsen international tension, especially in Europe, and increase the danger of military conflicts of catastrophic proportions.

The Portuguese Communist Party Condemns the US Aggression Against Iran

22 June 2025

The PCP vehemently condemns the US aggression against Iran, which follows its support for the attacks initiated by Israel against this Middle Eastern country on June 13, 2025, in a clear violation of the principles of the United Nations Charter and of international law.

No to the use of Portuguese territory to escalate the aggression against Iran!

21 June 2025

Reports of the presence of US military aircraft in Terceira, in the Autonomous Region of the Azores, demand an immediate and urgent clarification by the PSD/CDS government. The PCP condemns any potential use of the Lajes Base by the US to escalate aggression against Iran and warns against Portugal’s involvement in this aggression, given the PSD/CDS government’s policy of alignment and subservience to imperialism.

End Israel's aggression against Iran! End the genocide of the Palestinian people! Peace in the Middle East!

13 June 2025

The PCP considers Israel's aggression against Iran to be extremely serious and strongly condemns it, following the various and serious provocations and attacks it has carried out against Iran, the genocide of the Palestinian people and Israel's continuous bombings and occupation of Lebanese and Syrian territory.
