Strike at train bars starting Monday

Observador28 August 2026 at 19:53

The bars on Alfa Pendular and Intercidades trains will go on strike starting Monday. The stoppage is called by the sector's workers' union.

The company responsible for the meal service on these trains is Itau, the concessionaire that operates the onboard bars. The company is being accused of not complying with the current Company Agreement.

Workers claim that Itau cut the meal allowance, which is said to have motivated the decision to proceed with the strike. The labor dispute arises following these accusations of non-compliance.
