Union admits it may maintain the strike after receiving a counter-proposal from INEM

Now8 September 2026 at 09:49

The union of pre-hospital emergency technicians admits it may maintain the strike in protest against INEM, even after having received a counter-proposal from the institute. The position was stated by a union leader, who considered it necessary to analyze the proposal in detail before making a definitive decision.

The union is currently trying to schedule a new meeting with the Ministry of Health for this week. The objective is to continue negotiations and find a solution for the labor conflict that led to the paralysis of emergency services.

The tug-of-war between INEM and the workers arises in a context of growing tension in pre-hospital emergency services in Portugal, with professionals demanding better working and salary conditions.
