The strike in the bars of Comboios de Portugal (CP) entered its fourth day, maintaining a participation rate of 95%. Workers from Itau, responsible for managing the bar services on the Alfa Pendular and Intercidades trains, continue to protest.

The strikers are demanding compliance with the previously established company agreement. Among their demands are improvements in working conditions and the resolution of pending issues that affect their job performance.

Additionally, the workers are calling for government intervention, seeking support in mediating the labor conflict. This strike arises in a context of dissatisfaction with the current situation and the lack of response from the company.

So far, no information has been released about meetings between Itau management and workers' representatives to discuss the ongoing negotiations.
