It is the austerity measures which were put in place last year.The last general strike before  2010 was in 1988.

I've seen a couple of cars driving round with communist party flags and of course the kids are off school, but otherwise little effect otherwise around here. Buses are running normally, shops and bars are open

It is the pilots employed specifically by TAP that are planning to go on strike in December and January.

But don't rule out further strike action by other unions as the fight against government budgets continues. Also there is the effect of similar strikes in UK and elsewhere to deal with.

Just wondering if this would only effect TAP (Air Portugal) flights or have a knock on?

Hi all
 
I read in www.travelweekly.co.uk that the Portuguese Civil Aviation Pilots Union announced last week an eight day strike scheduled for 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th December and 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th January 2012.
 
I will be in Portugal for Christmas and New Year so will need to keep abreast of the situation as my return flight would be affected.
