CP bar workers on strike from August 31 for an indefinite period

The workers from Itau, the company that provides the bars and catering service on board CP's Alfa Pendular and Intercidades trains, will begin an indefinite strike starting August 31. The Union of Workers in the Hotel Industry, Tourism, Restaurants and Similar Industries of the South announced the strike in defense of the Company Agreement and against the withdrawal of rights, accusing the company of refusing to comply with the agreement since it took over the concession in April 2025 and of having stopped paying the equivalent of 22 days of meal allowance, causing estimated losses of about 200 euros per worker per month. The union calculates that 18 days of strike have already been carried out in 2025 and demands full compliance with the agreement, restoration of the meal allowance, fair salary increases, and negotiation of a new agreement. The workers also accuse the Government and CP of complicity in the conflict, having refused to meet with union representatives. Protest actions are planned near Santa Apolónia Station in Lisbon on August 31 and near the Secretary of State for Mobility and Transport on September 1.
